Hi Steemit Family!
I noticed this beautiful mantis on a shed roof today, These creatures have such an amazing vibe, I love them!
These fascinating creatures are liked by gardeners as they eat a wide variety of other insects but can themselves become the pray of birds and bats.
The super sized front legs are designed for catching and gripping on to their prey.
These photos were taken with my Canon Powershot SX 60 HS
Wow! Never seen one that up-close before... Gorgeous little critter.
Thank you very much. He is gorgeous yes!
Hahaha! That's more a... peeping mantis! 😂😂 Merry Christmas!
Ps. Beautiful photos!

Very exciting pictures and somewhat synchronistic for me because I dreamed of mating praying mantis' (or manti) just the night before last!?
Wow what amazing dreams you have!
Yes, they certainly are :)

GREAT shots!! I love preying mantis and am fascinated by them. Appreciating either your incredible gentleness and patience to capture these shots, or your sensational zoom lens. LOL.
