The European mantis (Mantis religiosa) is a predatory insect known for its triangular head, which can rotate nearly 180 degrees. Its forelegs are adapted for grasping prey. In Poland, the species is protected, with its range expanding as the climate warms.

Found this individual floating in the bin I use to collect air conditioner water for the garden. I should probably keep a chunk of wood floating in there for any bugs that decide to take a swim.

A 15 million year old praying mantis preserved in amber.
This isn't a prop from Jurassic Park; it’s a perfectly preserved praying mantis locked inside a golden tomb of ancient tree resin. It’s absolutely wild to think this little hunter was waiting for prey long before humans walked the earth.This is truly amazing. They haven't changed at all.

Lawnmower
There is power in these spinning blades,
green ninja of the grass.The grasshoppers and praying mantes flee and
fly before the whirring wind. The hilly homes
of Appalachian moundbuilding ants are cut down
to jagged holes which spew forth red and black
bodies in an angry burning sea.They do not realize that the hurricane
which slings them and their children
through the air today is predicted again
for next week unless the grass somehow
ceases to grow or the fuel line
springs a leak.September 3, 1996, Rolling Ridge

As with all design work, it is sometimes hard to decide when you’re finished. This model needed some more shaping to give it a better posture and more stability – it now stands on its own legs. I think I’ll leave it at that.

Look what landed on my arm today. While working on my balcony garden, I felt this on my arm, at first I thought it's worm, but then I saw it.
It's a baby praying mantis.
It's so tiny (4-6mm) and so fragile. Put it on one my plants that has a few aphids on it so it can have a fiest.
I feel so lucky. They are really rare here.

Only a few days until we’ll be heading south. Very much looking forward to seeing one of these in their habitat.
