Mantis

My son found this preying mantis on the screen outside our sliding glass doors.  He called me at work to tell me about it and I asked him if he could catch it for me so I could get a picture of it.  He said he was too afraid to get close to it.  Amazingly, my wife, who is petrified of bugs, caught it in a huge Lincoln Logs container.
See the little black spots in the eyes?  Those spots followed me all over the room as I was getting my equipment together to take the pictures.
