A Praying Mantis-we think!!

How cool is this. Today, we were outside.... Aj had just finished practicing riding without training wheels-by the way....anyway, we were sitting on the steps and AJ says, "Mommy is that a praying mantis," I automatically said, "Probably not" until he pointed it out, and sure enough, I think he spotted a Praying Mantis.



I took a ton of pix trying to get one to focus on it instead of all the leaves, but we got a couple of good ones. So we went inside and got the book that Aj knew it was in and compared. As far as we can tell, it is...its just lighter than the one in the picture!

Way cool. AJ is so smart! The bug DOES seem to look a little stranger than usual. I need a praying mantis out here to help us with our grasshopper problem. Do praying mantis' eat grasshoppers? Perhaps AJ knows. :) Love you guys!
