Praying mantis on the porch

Was pleasantly surprised to find this guy yesterday while taking the dog out yesterday. According to Isabella Rossellini , if this is a male he hasn't mated yet because his head is still intact.

p.s. This was taken with my old camera, as I don't have a macro lens for my DSLR yet.

That's so cool. Bella just asked me what a praying mantis was a few days ago. I can't wait to show her this.

Good pictures of the Mantis even without the macro lens. It does like like it was kinda sick. Maybe the poison was/is still working.

PS: The Saki set looks very nice too!
