Check out this bug that I saw on my house a couple of weeks ago. I had just painted, and I thought a leaf had stuck to the wet wall. However, the paint, upon inspection, was dry, and instead I realized that the leaf had antennae and little tiny arms like a Tyrannasaurus Rex. I wondered if it might be a praying mantis (which I had never seen in my life), but the ones I found online didn't look the same--they were much greener than this brown fellow.I had always thought, too, that the PMs were mainly found in the south, and I'm minutes from Chicago. Is Global Warming somehow relocating the Praying Mantises? :)
If there are any amateur (or professional) entymologists who read this blog, please give me your best guess. I'd like to say I still know where the bug is, but my husband WOULD have to try to touch it, and it slipped into the shrubbery and disappeared. Ah, well. At least I captured him on film. I feel like a gosh darn National Geographic photographer. :)
