hello mr. mantis


i found this little guy hanging out on my hydrangea this morning as i was looking for new buds. hopefully he catches and devours the little tramps that keep eating my leaves. praying mantises are a good organic alternative to pesticides, they should've called them PREYING mantises. HA!



i promise i won't keep taking pictures of every bug or caterpillar i find on my plants and blog about them. this is (probably?) the last time. :)

nice job with macros. those lil' guys freak me out --not completely, just somewhat-- they turn their widdle heads and watch you. any bug with a neck is a freak in my book. ;)

I found a mantis on my spearmint plant on Saturday. Looks like kin actually.

Or is it MRS. Mantis?

I need one for my spearmint as something or someone is eating it to bits and pieces.
