45. There WERE NO PRAYING MANTISES pre Fuku

Godzilla grasshoppers, that's what they are.

More seriously, I've seen more the last couple of years than in a long, long while, but I think they're eating the stinkbugs. Which is fine with me, although I'm sure the stinkbugs have a different perspective. There was one on the side of the garage when I drove up a few weeks ago, and I went over to say hello. At first it twitched and drew its wingcovers over, and then it got interested and goggled its eyes at me the way they do sometimes. I don't think it was being complimentary.

Next time I'll just flash it the "radioactive buddies" sign, and wander off.
