Wow, nice pics, obviously he is a professional mantis model.
I had a praying mantis on my blog a week or so ago and he wasnt nearly as colorful and big as this one. Great shots. Hope you guys have settled in and like it much better where you moved to. I still have some trouble getting on your blog. arrgh.
AU - Hi Teresa! You busted me! He IS a professional Mantis Model, but I had to ply him with liqour to get him to pose - I have some more pics of him after he had injested a little to much alcohol - they're kinda embarassing to him as a pro - so I'm attempting to extort money from him to not publish them - we'll see..... :-}

Hi Cris! Sorry your still have trouble getting on my blog - (don't forget the planter option)
We are getting settled - like it here a lot, ecept when we went doctor shopping yesterday, we were informed that NO doctors in Central Oregon are accepting Medicare patients! Bad News - that should be illegal! Anyway, not sure what to do about that.....

I never have seen one for real, Bill. These are nice shots.
We call them in German "Gottesanbeterin" what means "praying to God"... our languages are very similar, right?..LOL..
We stopped traveling one week ago and are settled down now in Melbourne FL. I will have time again to visit your blog more often and on a regular base :)
