Our Insect Neighbor









Living in the city of Cambridge, one doesn't often see a five inch long praying mantis. This creature was hanging out on one of the kid's painted pumpkins. It's back is the same color as the stem of the pumpkin and I had to look closely at first to see it at all.

I wish sometimes that I had a proper macro lens but, truthfully, I don't take too many insect pictures.
