The #Europeanmantis is a large #hemimetabolicinsect in the family of the #Mantidae. Their common name #prayingmantis is derived from the distinctive posture of the first pair of legs that can be observed in animals in repose. I hope she laid eggs last year so I can have natural pest control.

#MantidMonday anyone?!

Some shots of my preserved late mantis, Monty. His feline, alien grace was mesmerizing.

Couldn't tell if this was in focus while taking it, not the best but it's what I got of this mantis.

I met this European Mantis on a stroll through a wetland in SW Ontario day before yesterday. Too skinny! Get something to eat, you spindly bug.

To start, a European mantis I found with a friend in the wilderness during a beautiful autumn afternoon.

I almost forgot the “Big & Small” challenge for today’s “Februarty” challenge. Taken last July with my mantis-crazy son: #PrayingMantis #Invertebrates #Entomology #Februarty #BigAndSmall #Nature #Photography #EuropeanMantis #PNW
The majority of the frame is occupied by a royal blue t-shirt. The screen print features a retro-1970’s style circle made of horizontal lines that go from graduating shades of red and orange at the bottom to lighter yellow, white, and blue at the top. The non-printed, royal blue center of the t-shirt shows a silhouette of a praying mantis on a thorny blackberry cane. At the very bottom of the frame, a tiny, real, live, straw-colored praying mantis makes the exact pose as the one on the t-shirt! The t-shirt serves as an artistic amplification of the tiny, real mantis perched on my son’s arm.
