Found this praying mantis catching rays on the south wall of the old barn. We had two freezes this week. Haven’t seen a grasshopper sincee October. But here she is, still. #mantids

We found another praying mantis on our back porch! I had to move our new friend to Dan's lemon tree so Gomez wouldn't mess with it. Good luck catching all those bugs friend!
