Praying Mantis
A recent trip to Kinder Park, Laura and I encountered a large praying mantis in the path we talk for our regular 3 mile walk.
This creature let me get very close, I was pleased with the shots I got with my camera.

You got so close, and the way it turned toward the camera was both special and creepy! Unreal!
I am glad you did not get too close. Would like you about for a good few years longer :0)
Lovely photo though Barb
great pic!! it actually looks like he’s posing for you!!! like maybe he was flirting with the lens of your camera…..
He’s got a really nice smile.
Nice shot.
A Praying Mantis is completely harmless and one of the most beneficial insects around. I remember as a child one would hang around the screen on our kitchen window in the evenings. The light would attract other bugs and he had quite the feast! Of all insects, I think the Praying Mantis would be my favorite!
