1. He's a cutie!

Looks sort of like an alien!

3. Isn't he great.

Here's another shot, when he was younger.

I've decided to call him Constantine.

2. Coincidence that there's not one bad bug in that picture?

I think not!

Congratulations on your mantis! They're excellent hunters. :)

4. Thanks!

I've been lucky so far on bugs. Lots of bees, lady bugs, and dragon flies. Funny, he was on my one of my tomato plats just a few days ago, and he shed his skin and hopped to my jalapeno plant.

5. Praying mantis? n/t

[asdjrocky]

6. Yep. And I've named him Constantine.

7. Awesome.

If I can ever get the picture to my machine (technical difficulties), I saw a baby - a teensy little one - at a graduation party a couple of weeks back. Luckily I had my camera. I didn't name him/her though. Maybe I should have!

8. Hello there!

I want one!!!111

:P

I do see ladybugs every day though. Hmm.. wonder if he eats those too ;)

:hi:

12. Don't think he eats ladybugs.

I do know that ladybugs are our friends.

9. Great!

I found a baby one on the hay barn, a long way from my garden unfortunately but still, there it was. Next time I will stop what I am doing and relocate it :).

Lucky you! Very nice pepper there. Mine almost did not make it but they look better now but not that good. That is a beauty.

11. Thanks pirhana-

It's fun watching him. It sounds funny but I'm kind of attached to the little guy.
