They are such curious looking characters. Nicely captured, Ellen!
Thanks, Belinda. They are more aggressive than you might think, too. Ted relocated one last week that was standing on our back yard hummingbird feeder. A circling hummingbird was smart enough not to land.
I love the contrast in color between the green of the praying mantis and the pinkish-purple of the flower.
They are such odd bugs, I was hoping he’d take a step forward for a little more overlap but he never moved while I was watching. It reminded me of watching a Great Egret…you wait and wait, and wait…
