Another creature-friend

This little Praying Mantis was on our daybed cushion one morning! Hi buddy!

What a glorious green :)

I got out the kids Encylopedia of Animals & looked him up. We also grabbed a huge rubber Praying Mantis that we just happened to have in the bath toys. That's him here, not the real fellow.

But this is!

The eager students.

  1. I just love those little green guys! They are so sweet and handsome. :) We used to see them occasionally at out old house, but now that we're back in the 'burbs again they might be a little harder to come by. It's neat your kids got to spend some time with one. :)

  3. AHH! He looked HUGE in those first few pics. Then there was the one of him and your little one. Deep breathe.
    EWW!

  4. Thisi post makes me laugh. My little sister--who is 27, by the way--is terrified of praying mantises. I think she would die if I showed her these pictures!!

  5. Which encyclopedia do you use? I've been looking for a good animal one.
