  4. That and a couple bucks will get me a cup of coffee. Unless I get to say, “I’ll take The Mighty Praying Mantis for $200.00, Alex.” sometime in my future.

  5. If you wouldn’t have said anything I would have never known the difference. That is an awesome close up photo. It looks like he was posing.

  6. We have some in the backyard that are curious about our window. They jump on the glass and drive the dogs crazy. It is odd looking at them from the underside.
