Little Green....

Praying Mantis

While walking around 
the conservatory grounds
my dtr found
this praying mantis 
hanging out on the 
large metal sculpture









Cleaning his feet



Devon went to put him back on the wall
and I was taking a picture
and he jumped off the wall back on to her hand!



So she walked over to 
a plant and put him on it

  3. We had these growing up. That is not what we called them. We would not get close to them as we thought they would spit on us. Probably a different critter.
