Cute update on the Praying Mantis I caught yesterday. Daughters came home and were thrilled to see him. My oldest got her camera and we took Mantis to a nice spot in the garden so she could take some pics. Amazing what a calm bug, but has moves like a Ninja lol. At one point Mantis leaped onto the camera.

Btw the pics are outstanding.
Anyway the neighborhood kids across the street were coming to get their mail and I showed them the Mantis. The younger brother (6 yrs) was super impressed - he was hoping I would let him have it and went home to get his container. I told him its time for him to eat because Manty was in the container all day - he understood. His father was across the street and the boy yelled, "hey dad...you have to come see the 'Prime Minister'

on the rock...its cooool". So cute and funny.
