| Here are some of the praying mantises of the summer of 2019. |
 |
| This one is doing a good job of blending in. |

| A poem by Ogden Nash: |
From whence arrived the praying mantis?
From outer space or lost Atlantis?
glimpse the grin, green metal mug
at masks the pseudo-saintly bug,
Orthropterous, also carnivorous,
And faintly whisper, Lord deliver us.
 |
| The other day a mantis appeared on one of my windows. I took its picture, just a silhouette without the usual tangled background of leaves. It was easy to isolate with Photoshop to make graphics like this one. Reminds me of the Karate Kid in this pose. |

| And this. Gotta love a little mantis art, right? |
