PRAYING MANTIS ON ROSE...

in garden •  7 years ago  (edited)

Well, the temperature in Las Vegas is at 106 Degrees today... I just came in from my Garden after discovering and taking a picture of one of my thousands of Praying Mantis'... I never really know how many I have, because they're usually very hard to spot, but I did spot this one standing in wait for a Fly on one of my Beautiful Roses called "Perfume Delight"... Anyway, as soon as I spotted it, I had to snap a picture and post it here... If you look closely, you'll notice its head is turned towards me... He was aware of my presence... Let me know what you think ...

It's a little one, better to eat little biting gnats or mosquitos. There is a little critter in my post today too. https://steemit.com/slug/@teaandkisses/giant-slug-eats-flower

You wouldn't believe how tiny they start out at... They get at least twice as big as the one pictured...

Nice picture :)

I hope you were able to see the Praying Mantis looking at me... lol...
If anything I save them from the cats... I'd never want to harm one...
