Praying Mantis

Hi there,
I love your website, and find myself checking it regularly. I thought you might like a couple of photos I took. The praying mantis was rescued from a busy sidewalk/parking lot where she was about to get squashed. I let her go in my garden. She is having her first look at freedom and me from the shoebox I used to capture her.
