The praying mantis
Clasps forward legs in prayer
Thankful to exist

Beautiful! They are my favorite insects. Really vivid one. I had a red preying mantis that landed on me one time. Really tiny and cute. : ) I let her go in the garden shortly after. Always, Laura

They are my favorite also, To me, they look like they really know what's going on when you look at their faces. Thanks for visiting.
