attacked by potential snack for Stanley...

[lisagr07]

i was taking some picks of Stanley and noticed this preying mantis sitting about. well i thought i'd try to get a pic of him before trying to capture him and feed him to Stanley....

well, my last thought as i snapped the pic was that the little bugger better not come at me.... well he did, just as i snapped the pic he jumped on my head !!!! i don't know how i managed not to drop the camera, i screamed like a banshee and my glasses went flying as i flailed at my hair trying to dislodge him!!!!! some how it worked and he flitted off into a crepe myrtle!!!!
good riddance!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant stand mantis's!!!!!!

here is the culprit!!!!!!! reward offered for him dead or alive!!!!!
