@k9photo Thanks Kate... I was praying to get the shot.
@serendypyty Thanks for your comment Cazzi... they are pretty creepy but seem to be pretty calm... this one was on a sunflower that was hanging down and I had to lift the flower up and over to get the shot... the mantis stared at me the entire time and never moved.
@mccarth1 Thanks Kerry... I was so happy it stayed still and didn’t jump on me!
@dutchothotmailcom@kgolab Thanks so much for your comments... most appreciated... this was a smart mantis... hiding on the underside of that flower where it was dark.
@marlboromaam Thanks Maggie... I thought about you when I spotted this mantis... I knew from your postings that they remain still so I was less afraid of it while trying to get the shot.
