Ive always thought that preying mantis have a quizzical look about them, as though they have just been asked a curve ball question and they are thinking about their cryptic response. I also have this cartoon image of them locked in the back of my mind that says they should be wearing glasses and working as a librarian. Neither of those thoughts have much to do with my job, but it does make me smile when I do find a mantis. This guy was hanging out with me while I finished dead heading the dietes, he wasnt a massive. just that lovely inbetween size. So hes alot bigger then the ones Ive seen alot of over winter, but not massive. He probably would have been about 5cm or so and was quite content to have me take his photo. Lovely little chappie he was.
