2. A Praying Mantis...

Just a darker version.

3. It's a small praying mantis.

He came in through the pet door last night and I found him this afternoon on the window. Really quite the friendly guy. We hung out for an hour or so with him posing on my left hand while I put him in various places and shot pics with my right hand.

4. Wow,

Nothing like having your model coming right to your door! And INSIDE your door to boot!

5. If it is a him...

I hope he didn't have a date planned for tonight.

8. I'm still here and don't have any unexplained windfalls or good fortune

So I guess my soul is intact . . .

6. You have the most unusual friends Andy. Great shot!

7. He really was quite friendly. He perched on my hand for a half hour and let me move him

Around to take pictures from different angles, with flash, without flash, on different plants and was about as cooperative a subject as I've had. After about an hour and a half I let him go in the back yard. Great fun!
