Praying Mantis

So I got home today to find an unusual sight. This is what I found on my screen door. I had never before seen a live one except in a Zoo. It was a Praying Mantis. It was elegant in its simplicity. I never realized that were that large.

I am amazed that I saw it as we normally do not have mild winters but I guess with the abnormally warm previous winter it survived.

I am glad as they may remove some of the Ant problem in our yard.

Hopefully it will be on his or her way by the time J gets home....
