A Chinese Praying Mantis, possibly day-dreaming about what it’s like to be a butterfly or some other creature? Who’s to say?
Chinese mantises have largely come to replace the native Carolina mantis that once inhabited much of the US. These powerful insects sometimes catch and kill small birds, such as our beautiful hummingbirds.
Garden and farm tenders, should you need to introduce natural insect control, please specifically choose the Carolina species, instead. Photographed in Sunbury, PA, USA.
