I was teaching him to beg. He's still here hanging around in the shop.
Be careful, dude- the mantis can be deadly.

Fixed it for ya:
A very cool bug to say the least :happy10: I like watching them look at me and twist there head around to get a look 8) get a thread and and watch those lightning fast arms reach out and grab it, That mantis will stay close by and not bother a thing :happy10: OK, I did not have toy's when I was a boy :happy10: Your new Camera is working out great looks like :cheers:

Mikes right. And they kill nuisance bugs. Them and venus flytraps were my favorites as a kid.
I have heard that after mating, the female kills the male.
Wouldn't be worth it to me.

I know what you mean about the toys memike, I didnt know cars had wheels on em' until I was about 5, my neighbor always gave me his old junk toys.. I remember a garden-denver green dozer he gave me, no tracks or blade on it but that thing would move some dirt ;)

Sunday morning I walked in the garage and and there it was hanging out on the compressor tank. Like you say Mike, it would twist it's head around and just watch me. I'm still getting used to the camera. The head of the mantis is a little blurry but the body came out fine. It's got too many dang adjustments, lol.
Yeah, I should have said "she" but I thought Mr. Mantis sounded better than Ms. Mantis.
BTW, I think that spider would win that battle. :read2: It's been unusually hot and humid here this summer and the wildlife is getting out of control, lol. I've seen a bunch of bugs that normally I just don't see here in the dry southwest.Yeah, I figured I'd let it live. It's pretty cool looking and hung out all day while I cleaned and organized the garage.
Maybe she's super hot in bug terms? :read2:

I found WTF curled up dead about 3' away from where I sprayed him while cleaning this weekend. At least I know he wasn't carb cleaner proof. :cheers:

I havent seen 1 of those for about 25 years, same with salamanders. Use to see them all the time as kids, but pretty rare to see now.

He has come to teach you the way of enlightenment. So pay attention grasshopper.
He looks a little pissed at you in that 2nd pic. You may just get an a$$ whopping for disturbing his meditation. LOL
