Must be the time of year the preying mantis are looking for shelter. I haven't seen any all summer, and now 2 in a week. I'm told there are two types here, again a native one, and the other a South African import that is attacking the natives. Apparently the SA one's don't fly, but the NZ ones do.
this must be your local one as I have not seen one of these before. Sorry that ours are not in your good books, but they do sound nasty. Lovely shot and pastels, fav!
