mantis

A few years ago there were praying mantis everywhere. Then they seemed to disappear. I was thrilled to find this one in the tall grasses in my son's yard.

Love a preying mantis. We used to get loads on our passion fruit vine at our old house. Still see them fairly regularly, but not as en masse
