Mantis on my deck!


I came outside and found this preying mantis on the back deck. I ran inside and got the camera. He was huge and he turned his head and looked right at me!

They are so cool. I found one when I first moved here and have kept him in a plastic bag ever since. Even used his body for my Insomnia project! Careful next time...some of them spit for the eyes. Not sure if that's a local species however.
