praying mantis


"I'm sorry I'm a little bit late for this meeting ... I had to stop and photograph a praying mantis in our front yard."  That would have been a good line - I couldn't use it since the traffic was flowing quite freely this morning, and I wasn't, after all, late.  The praying mantis jumped out, in a rather surprised way, when I was watering the plants - and then, as I delicately pursued it, proved what a wonderful creature it is at camouflaging itself against the leaves.
