In the garden of my then house, getting the fright of my life when I got a close up of what I thought was a cute little grasshopper. Is it licking its chops and eyeing me?
A couple of quick photos, and I was outta there.

Oooh! It’s a praying mantis. They always look like alien creatures to me. They’re beneficial insects, and good to have around. 🙂

That looks for the world like a Praying mantis – and by the looks of it I would say she is pregnant. 🙂

No wonder I was getting that look; I was a possible threat to her baby. Wow! Thanks, Julie.

Not 100% on the pregnant may just be as she is full grown, but she has a big abdomen .. They are massive compared to the males 😀
