Why do I capitalize all references to You on this blog?
It's my way of paying You respect as the wonderful, beautiful Beings that You are -- the best work of God and nature.

Good Morning ECD! How are you? :)
Oh and...nice bug.
I'm better. Cold is going away, slowly.
The bug thanks You for the compliment.
He showed up on my window where the bug-catching apparently wasn't great, as he departed a few minutes after his photo session.
My students like to crowd around my computer in the morning. I showed them your picture. I thought it ws funny. They seemed to enjoy it as well.
One girl asked why it is called a praying mantis. "Does it pray a lot?" she asked.
It looks like something out of a B-grade horror film, IMHO.
Chase, you could tell them that it prays for absolution before shredding the life out of some poor passing bug.
Then again, you're in a public school. Might not dare use religious words.
Then again, you're in Canada, where people might not be so hyper-sensitive to that.
Love these but they won't over winter here.
I think mantises are very cool. I was once in a shop in the tiny town of Koloa on the island of Kauai when a mantis flew in the door and into the proprietor's hair. She freaked and flailed about. She pulled it from her hair and thrust it outside. At that point the mantis's karma caught up with it, and it was immediately devoured by a feral cat that just happened to be passing by. The mantis must have offended the goddess Pele.
He really knows how to work the camera and we love it!
EXCELLENT!
I will go tell Cindy now that HE is here :-)
ooops :-) but reading Ian's story makes me reconsider... but nah, Cindy can handle it. She is worldly-wise.
Great shot! This is truly the angle at which the prey would be viewing the mantis. Oh, and here's your B-grade horror film.
Thank you all for your comments. For once, I had my camera in the right place at the right time, although the perfectionist in me still feels that the shot is just a little unclear.
it's face looks all mangled?!
Lance: I don't think I can blame my lack of photographic skills for that, since everything else came out clear. Perhaps that is how a mantis mouth looks from beneath.
I don't know.
Wow! That is a much different look at a praying mantis than the last post...
