Praying Mantis

Once again while out for a walk through the fields and forest along the Conewago Creek, in Lewisberry, PA, and not without my camera, my friend stopped and said look over there. I looked and didn't see anything. He pointed, I looked, and still didn't see anything. Finally, he led my eyes into it and there it was, a nice Praying Mantis. I carefully made my way in a little closer and took this shot on 7/24/2004 at 8:23 PM.
