The Praying Mantis

Last summer I got these great pictures of the kids' facination with a praying mantis, that they found in our yard. My nephew H was here that day and he is a "bug boy". Anything bug and he is very happy. He especially likes trying to catch bugs. I had these on my cell phone and had just downloaded them when our computer messed up, that is why it took so long.


Here is the culprit for all of the excitment and this post.

My nephew H is such a bug boy, he loves them to death. He is always asking me for a cup or something to put the bugs in that he catches. R was so facinated with the bug and thought that it was cool that H would lay down with him to look at the bug.

It was hard to get good pictures since the kids wanted to be so close. Had to constantly remind them to be careful and to not hurt it.

The kids were so excited to see this praying mantis they were facinatied for quite awhile.
