But whatever, I just had to share these two pics I just took!
As I was taking a quick afternoon break on our back deck, guess what I spotted on the railing?
A tiny praying mantis! This little mantis was only a couple of inches long. And, of course, it was praying.
Anyway, I just thought I'd share. I've never seen a praying mantis in real life before, so I thought some of you might enjoy seeing it too!

Cute mantis! I think I've seen one before, while camping... They are pretty cute (for insects).
Don't get too close. They bite. For real, one bit my grandma.
You make me laugh. Its hard to realize how many things you didn't have way out west!
i like your nature posts! mantis is pretty cute, though i think I'd still flip out if one landed on me! I've only seen the gigantoid ones at the zoo, the one in your yard seems much more friendly!
Cool! I've never seen one in real life, either.
that is an awesome action picture!
I thought these things were everywhere! Is there a state that doesn't have spiders? I want to move there.
Wow! I've never seen one that up close, pretty cool.
