Cool Leslie. I was just telling my son about some of the cool bugs that we’d see in our neighborhood when we were young. I remember seeing really large water bugs, locust and praying mantis among others.
Morning Leslie.
Every once in awhile, I’m treated to a mantis walking across my street. They are amazing to watch from the tilt of their heads to those giant eyeballs you know are staring at you. I always make sure they get all the way across.
Happy Wednesday!

It’s a shame. These were collected in a very wooded area in North Florida where they were seemingly abundant, but I’m sure they’ve become pretty scarce in more rural areas.
Thanks for stopping by, Someone.

Lovely! I suspect you might enjoy my flash fiction story, http://nicholasrossis.me/2015/02/14/sex-and-dinner-a-valentines-day-short-story/ – although I’m sure I’ve gotten plenty of details wrong! 😀

This is great! Very interesting! The Praying Mantis is my favorite bug. I like they can turn their head, following a person by sight.

They sure are neat and pretty animated the way they move. Fierce little guys too.
Thank you.

Hey E! Yes, I remember the mantids on my porch. We watched curiously as they looked back at us just as curious.
Thanks for visiting.

Adorable but ruthless! They begin to cannibalize one another after their first day. So, in captivity they must be separated.
