This Mantis has been hanging out in the beans in our garden. Here is my first posting of this garden friendly insect. She was in full view in this shot on a sunny day.

I'm happy to say that my mom was doing so much better today, the best that I have seen in sometime. I only hope she continues to improve, and thanks for your support. It means so much to me. So many good friends I have found on Caedes. Thanks bunches!

Thanks in advance for your comments also.

I agree they blend in very well. Love to see them in the gardens but do not often see them.

A great shot of the Mantis, Sandi. I wonder if he's Praying for you to cook up something good to go with along those beans. I'm glad to hear the great news about your Mom. Take care.

This is one of the EArths most interesting little critters. I think they are so magical. While living in Louisiana I saw many of these, a lot of people don't like them and think they are ugly but not me. How beautifully they blend with nature, and you captured this perfectly. So clear and lovely. Thank you so very much. Verena

Now that is a great shot. Loving the lighting and the detail. Never would have seen it if I hadn't been looking for it. Surely this is headed for some good scores.
