August Day 3: Grace

They're a little odd and somewhat creepy; especially when they turn their head to look at you. Yikes!  They are very unusual to say the least, but the praying mantis is one of the most graceful creatures I've ever seen. They are so poised, alert and usually move slowly and gracefully so they blend into the surrounding. They do a great job. I nearly missed seeing this guy. However, when food is close by or they need to make a quick get-away, they become lightning fast! Even then they are graceful.


Yes, he turned his little head to watch me! It still makes me shiver!
