Praying Mantis


This little green insect was shot in my Garden.

The praying mantis is named for its prominent front legs, which are bent and held together at an angle that suggests the position of prayer.
They have triangular heads poised on a long neck, and can turn their heads 180 degrees to scan their surroundings with two large compound eyes and three other simple eyes located between them.


This pic was taken by my sis.
