prayingmantis

We had another #mantis visitor last week! This is the first brown one I've spotted. I saw my first one ever at my parents' place last year, and now they're everywhere here (an hour north of them). 😅 The survivor I posted two weeks ago came back for another photo session on the drive (put it in the wildflower plot afterwards), then I saw a crushed one on our street, and found one drowned in a pot of water I'd forgotten in the garden. 🙈
This one spent the whole day at eye level on a white wall by our drive, and I managed to take a few photos.

Look what we found in the garden yesterday! It was missing two legs and an antenna, so to keep it out of harm's way, we placed it in the lavender, where it started to groom its legs

Behold, a big bug friend! 🦗 MANTIS!

(She had Right Of Way)

I found this alien stuck between the window and the mosquito net.
I took some pictures before gently releasing it on the nearby tree.

Although it's looking at the camera in this one, I still prefer the one I posted on vernissage https://vernissage.photos/statuses/7689555132878424878
