The Praying Mantis

I was watering the flowers on my patio today and came across this guy. I think he was a little irritated that I got him wet. He kept looking at me while I was taking his picture.


If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.
