Une vraie surprise de voir cette mante, dans le jardin, un 21 novembre !
A real surprise to see this mantis, in the garden, on November 21 !
Ce matin, je décide d'aller dans un champ avec un étang, près de chez moi. Je ne trouve pas déjà beaucoup de libellules cette année, mais je sais que dans ce domaine, il y en a. Hélas, le champ vient d'être fauché. Je me dirige donc vers une friche à proximité et là je tombe sur plusieurs petites mantes religieuses. J'ai l'impression qu'en l'absence de papillon, cette année, je vais me régaler de mantes !
This morning, I decide to go to a field with a pond, near my home. I don't already find many dragonflies this year, but I know that in this area there are some. Alas, the field has just been mown. So I go to a nearby wasteland and there I come across several small praying mantises. I have the impression that in the absence of a butterfly, this year, I will feast on mantises!
I was rather delighted to find this guy on the deck - it was the first I've ever seen one around the house, and I've long wanted to get a mantis portrait.
Totem ~ maybe. I took many shots of this Praying Mantis and the point of this shot is the face of the insect. However, I left the long shot just to show the way the insect just held on and said, 'hey what you got?" ish. Feel free to zoom in and take a look at the face.
This handsome fellow was hanging out on a flowering MUM plant watching me as I cleaned out the water fall. He was a real poser......
HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY !!!
A praying mantis staring straight into your eyes !!!
Insect fact : "The praying mantis is the only insect that can look behind its shoulders".

I have no idea what kind of praying mantis this is.
He was so tiny (around 5 mm) and active that I had difficulty focusing in him, so the quality leaves a little to be desired. Still, I find him enchanting and stopped short of deleting him!
Taken in Franschhoek, Western Cape.
I was about to close the window and notice something special.
I take the first car I have available and click.
Praying mantis.
A particular insect almost belonging to another Planet.
It has many meanings, but one above all is that many see this insect as a sign of deeper peace, quiet and the embodiment of meditation.
That is a good omen!
