Congratulations Christopher Miller
Friendly Praying Mantis

I had a very interesting experience with this praying mantis. I had been outside photographing and came inside to discover this praying mantis on my shirt! I think he must have really wanted his picture taken! Of course, I obliged and spent several minutes photographing him once I got him off my shirt and back outside. Any C&C are welcome!
