The Mantis Wins!

The Mantis Wins!

There was a praying mantis in the yard, and it jumped up onto the picnic table while I was fooling around with some of my Legos.

Here you can see the end of the battle, where the mantis destroyed all of the Lego warriors.

Most North American mantids are not included among endangered species, but species in other parts of the world are under threat from habitat destruction. They aren't protected in Pennsylvania, but I treat them with respect. The only thing I touched it with was a blade of grass, as you can see here.

You are so brave! I don't know that any of us here would have been brave enough to mess with this huge thing!

Looks like a dragon attacking them. And I know that you were careful with the mantis.
