Artist's Description
This Spring I had a Praying Mantis egg capsule hatch and I had tiny, tiny little babies all over my Yellow Bell plant. Over the next couple of months, I carefully watched them grow into mature Praying Mantises.
I captured one of the juveniles enjoying a tasty fly.
Mantises have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all Mantodea have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, has led to the common name praying mantis.
Mantises were considered to have supernatural powers by early civilizations, including Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, and Assyria. A cultural trope popular in cartoons imagines the female mantis as a femme fatale. Mantises are among the insects most commonly kept as pets.

I am Adrienne Wilson. I was raised in the Military, moving frequently. My husband and I moved to Lake Havasu City in 1991, which is along the Colorado River, in the beautiful State of Arizona. They call it the "Home of the London Bridge" but it is so much more!! Capturing Nature's images has been a passion of mine from a very early age. From the smallest butterfly to majestic mountains, flowers and sea shores, wildlife and sunsets...there is such beauty everywhere you turn. Thank you for visiting and please enjoy!!

Mantis are fearsome hunters as your capture shows .fortunately they eat many bugs harmful to our crops. I have had them look me straight in the eye and still keep on munching. Stunning capture Adrienne!
Adrienne Wilson replied:
June...I know exactly what you mean. It will just keep eating while it watches you. They are my favorite insect. So much personality. Thank you for the wonderful compliment.
