Yesterday I was admiring a vase of artificial plants in the drug store because they looked so real and to my amazment there was a live praying mantes on the plant. We all had a good time laughing and looking at this interesting insect, inside on a fake plant.

I know the praying mantis is, like the black widow spider, not nice, but it's so graceful and sleek looking.
My insects of choice are praying mantises and dragonflies. The rest could get RAIDED for all I care. I know, though, that they all have uses, I just wish so many of them didn't find uses in my life!
If I could find a nice dragonfly picture, I'd probably use its picture as my avatar (but I'd still be felines, 'cause I've got one lying in front of the monitor now. She uses the small, flat Rolodex file as a pillow).

Very unusual indeed. Praying mantis must be the type of insect attracted by colour not smell. The nice bright colours obviously looked too good to fly past. LOL

I worked on a tarmac at an airport for years and the dumb greenies were all over the place without one thing to eat, just looking around and trying to be ominous. Not the best tool in a box.

Yes, it happened to me before. Funny in the drug store also. When I pick up some item in the store to looked at, the bug was trap in there like it was born in there or something.

I would have ran out of that store screaming! Those creatures scare me to death! Interesting story though!

That little sucker was waiting around for a plastic fly I presume.

That is pretty funny. Odd though, I would have thought it was the smell that attracted him.
