menacing mantis

we found this wee lady in our kitchen, clearly having hitched a ride on some sunflowers or roses, we don't know why. during the photoshoot it decided to seek higher ground and my mom bore it bravely.It was subsequently released back into the wild.
(of our backyard)

mantis means: prophet or fortune teller

Your mom is to be commended for her bravery. Awesome photos.

I'm reminded of that episode of America's Next Top Model, where Eva totally rocked the tarantula climbing up her face. Awesomeness. I would never be so brave.
