It was the first time I had ever encountered a Praying Mantis and I didnt have a hard time taking photos of this amazing creature because it seemed as though he was more curious to learn about me with its shifty eyes watching every move I made while having no objection to posing for me as well. I really hope I run into them more often.

    Love it. You know you can buy praying mantises live, as well as egg sacs, at plant nurseries—you can have a model any time you want!
