Description
I have been hoping to find a Praying Mantis for some time now and I found this one in a way that often happens for me. First I noticed a weevil (adjacent photo) sitting up in an obvious way on a blade of grass. When looking at the weevil, I spotted a grasshopper. When I peered more closely at the grasshopper, I saw the tip of the mantis' leg jutting out from under a blade of grass. Finally, the mantis came out in full view (I think in an attempt to intimidate me) and I got some shots! Often one sighting leads to another to another and there is almost a synchronicity to it.
