This little guy/gal was greeting my son for the start of his day. Right on the outside of the house there he sat waiting to say hello and good day to you.
If you look closely you can see his eyes are looking right at you waiting for his photo op.
These fascinating little creatures have stereo vision and heads that turn almost 180 degrees. With over 2,000 species I have no idea if this one is a male or female or which particular species it is. It reminds me of a movie where creatures had their legs that were backwards for long distance running.
I just think they are interesting to watch when they are looking for prey. Every action is deliberate.
Say hello to Mr or Mrs Mantis. Hope you enjoy. Just a reminder to stop and enjoy things every day, you never know what you may find.
