Thanks
to Doug Brooks for sending in this great close-up shot of a
praying mantis.
Here are some interesting
facts about this unique and odd-shaped bug. The word mantis
is Greek for "prophet," so they are praying prophets. They
have excellent vision and are the only insect that can turn
its head 180 degrees from side to side. They only eat food
that is still living and moving during consumption. They are
excellent for pest control consuming beetles, crickets,
grasshoppers and spiders. Unfortunately, they will also go
after hummingbirds. And, the females consume their mates at
the end of the breeding cycle.
There are 2,400 species of
these large bugs. They come in various colors and a variety
of shapes, though still recognizable as a mantis.

Like a lot of other insects, the mantis is becoming rarer in our
landscapes. It appears that Doug may have been out on a country walk
when he caught sight of this one.
