Preying Mantis

He doesn't look very friendly Sue ....

Hi all...
OH says ...Sue come and remove one of your friends...me thinking it was spider, grabbed the camera, and left OH to walk my friend out to the dahlias, where he and his mate like to hide...:))))
Wasn't he a brave little soldier....lol
Stripes...
They aren't very friendly if you're an Insect...but while we were watching him he was turning his head and watching us...and they are quick....

Oh wow that is pretty amazing. I only get grasshoppers! lol.

Thanks Barbara...and all...

good you posted this twice. good shot!

Thanks Lori...don't know how that happened...lol...

I has happened to me too...and I'm not sure why either.

:))))

A very long time ago we went to Japan and SIngapore and we saw one land in front of us. Lovely to see. Great little characters.

I love to watch them Lindak, they tend to like to be around my Dahlias...a lot...

Bet you have lovely pest free dahlias! :-) Speaking of dahlias...mine are Finally budding.

Oh wow, will keep watch for your pics...:)))
It's true I don't get too many probs, still have to watch out for the snails though...little blighters...
