Spring is pretty
much here. Soon you'll hear the little pitter-patter of little insect
feet. In fact you might have already noticed some have coming out
already. Like ants and little spiders. But then many of you can care
less, let alone like insects and other bugs. But I like them, well
except for things like mosquitoes, fleas and ticks. I find those
annoying.
Anyways here are
some pics from last summer of a little cannibalistic insect called
the praying mantis. Well it wasn't that little so I'm pretty sure it
was an immature female, since they are much bigger then their smaller
and taster male partner. I think she was a stage off from being a
full fledged flier.
I originally found
her crawling up the outside wall near the bathroom of our house so
she was obviously easy to see. That green colour of hers really stood
out from the orange brick wall.
So after I was
finished looking at her natural insect beauty I left her in our
garden on some lettuces. She does make a really great guard insect
against those potential pests who would easily take over the garden
if not controlled. If you're wondering I didn't take pics of her
right away until I found her again on a little citrus plant in a pot
a few days later. I'm pretty sure it was the same one since this one
could not fly either. Guess she liked it here in our back yard cause
she stayed there pretty long.
Again I don't have a
great camera so I use what ever I have. I only use these pics for
reference any how for my art work and what not.
