This little green bug had guts. As I was trying to take his picture…. He attacked me. Well his version of an attack. He jumped right at my face! Lucky for me he missed because I think he meant business!
You can see the original photo as well as a few others at Albuquerque Extra!

2006-09-08 06:12I love the praying mantis! They could also be called preying mantis, as they’re quite good predators. Fun idea, Helen, to do the Mantis Movie. Will there be a sequel? 🙂
