I was looking for the Praying Mantis and got distracted by a Great Blue Skimmer, not realizing that the Mantis was so close by.
He is on the same dried hibiscus stem as my recent post.
The pair from another angle.

Great Blue Skimmer, Praying Mantis Photobomber
Both great predators. Wonder who would win. Like Godzilla vs. Mothra. 🙂
😆 Probably the Skimmer this time as the Mantis was so small–but sometimes size doesn’t win. I was watching to see if either was aware of the other and they didn’t let on, if so.
What a great coincidence Ellen to have both in one picture.
