A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
I took the dog out for the last potty stop of the evening when this mantis flew onto the back screen door. By the time I retrieved the camera it had moved to the wall. I grew up seeing these all the time but hadn't seen one in years before this one came to visit. It was a little surreal as it slowly turned its head to face me, evidently not approving of having its picture taken...
This would be a nice addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the North East mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...
