Song - There Ain't No Bugs On Me by Jerry Garcia & David Grisman
Have you ever seen a brown Praying Mantis? I had not until several days ago when this one walked by me near the pool. At first I thought it was a leaf until he turned sideways. Apparently the green ones are more prominent in California but the Mantis turn brown or green for the same purpose....camouflage on trees and plants. I asked Mr. B if he would kindly move him from the patio to the garden so he would not get stepped on. Mr. P-man is now living very happily in the shade garden!
"If you think you are too small to make a difference,
try going to bed with a mosquito."
--Dalai Lama
what amazing camouflage. A leaf is perfect
