DSC09788 preying mantis

preying mantis. We've had a preying mantis for several years in the yard. I saw a baby one and it's tiny of course. It's astonishing that it's a killing machine. But it's better than chemicals and that's the nature of Nature. I hope you've enjoyed the picture and thanks for admiring it. I love our backyard birds. Even the red tail hawk which astounds me as to its capacity for patience when hunting. My favorite is the turkey vulture riding on a wave of air. Immense beasts but so agile and free.
