Praying Mantis

Sid captured a praying mantis the other day up at the warehouse. He took great care not to harm it during the capture and retrieval stage. Unfortunately that was first thing in the morning and it stayed in the car during the rest of his deliveries and meetings. Technically it was still alive when it got home but it was a close thing. It passed away shortly thereafter and has now been mounted in her permanent bug collection. I haven't had the chance to show her the praying mantis picture on Mom's blog.
