    Garden Visitor: Praying Mantis

    I know they are around, but I seldom see them. Caught this one AND he paused to look straight at the camera!











    And the flowers behind him / her:


    That's it!

    That is so cool! Praying mantises are really neat looking bugs!

    I haven't seen one in years, but yours looks darker/more brown that the ones I've seen. Do they get fall colors?
