Saw a field (really, just an empty lot) that was filled with beautiful flowers. I found a place to park nearby and headed off to get a picture or two. As I walked down the road I spotted this female praying mantis crossing the road, headed for the new Virginia Beach athletic complex. I tried explaining to her that it was still under construction but she was having none of it, seemingly determined to get in her daily workout. Given the way female mantises treat male mantises after mating I decided it was best not to push the issue.
