Photo Description
We have a couple of praying mantises in our backyard. They like to hang out in our apple tree and passion fruit vine. Sometimes they are hard to spot because they camouflage so well. I just happened to have my camera out when I saw this praying mantis catch it's prey! It is very fascinating to see how small its mouth is yet it has such a big appetite. I thought I would share these photos I snapped with you all.

Thanks! These were one of favorites from Maryland but I don't see them near Seattle. Good job! :)
