We rescued this mantis from the parking lot at the garden centre. Brought it home in a Tim Hortons coffee cup and set it free in the backyard. He was pretty quick to start hunting for bugs on the roses. I've looked for him since then but he has done a great disappearing act. Whether he is really gone or just blending in with the garden plants I don't know. I hope nothing ate him.

How cool he is! I love Mantis's!
Lovely range of pics! Beautiful!
Question for you - where'd you make that cute feed avatar? :)
Hi, I arrived via the black box :-)
that an awesome critter. I like their incredible focus - almost zen-like.
A fellow bug-rescuer! I believe I have you beat in the mantis department - the one I caught 2 summers ago was so huge I was almost afraid to pick it up.
Ha! I didn't pick it up. Just scooted it into a coffee cup. It was eerie how it looked right at me too. Each time I moved it focused on my face again.
