This little guy (relative to other mantises he’s pretty small) took a ride with me on my windshield, then made himself comfortable in the front seat. My kids were super excited about the big bug so I put him in the bug catcher we have.
After deciding he’d enough captivity my husband opened up the cylinder, not coincidentally right next to a huge, nasty mosquito. You can figure out the rest…

Very interesting picture!!! The turquoise container eyeballing the bugs at work is a nice touch!! thank you.
that thing could’ve been standing on anything and I wouldn’t move it. All I can say is thank God for zoom lenses!
You made me laugh. I wouldn’t have moved it either! Nice photo!
Love giving you a chuckle!
How nice of the praying mantis to cooperate and hunt in front of you!
I thought so!
