Finally got my first praying mantis shots. Dang breeze kept moving him around. I'm still not exactly nailing the focus on the eyes.
Maybe I need new glasses.
Probably 3- 3 1/2 inches long.
C&C welcome.

I have found what someone told me was a breeding cocoon of the mantis. I hope they breed out and then I can train one as a pet. LOL!! Joan Young
