Praying Mantis

Thanks Paul. He looks like ET. They are very interesting, maybe I'm kind of a geek about insects.

He/she is earning her/his keep by eating the bugs :)

For sure. I have 3 nearby rose bushes. No aphids anywhere. He ate them all

You're not the only geek Paul....here's another one. Lovely this insect. I'd have him on my hand. He does a good job by the sound of it.

Thank you Linda. They seem to have some level of intelligence.

From this pic., you can certainly see how the camouflage would work! Fascinating creature.

I'd love to find him in my garden.

Me too! A handsome, inviting little friend…I’m well jell!

lol your funny too! They are a huge benefit. It's fascinating to observe the worlds within worlds. There's so much going on that we hardly notice.
