The Praying Mantis

This afternoon my daughter found a Praying Mantis on our back porch. She was so excited to find it. My husband caught it for her so the kids could get a better look. It is one of the most facinating insects that I've seen. We all had to take pictures of the it. My husband took this shot of him. Later this afternoon we went to Petsmart to buy him (her) dinner, small crickets. We hoped to bring it to school tomorrow to share with the kids at school. Then we will deceide what would be best for it next.
