Praying Mantis Plays Ball

 Last night while sitting at the ball field watching softball playoffs, one of my team mates found a praying mantis and it totally reminded me that I had these pictures I had taken at my old house.  I watched this praying mantis totally munch on the grasshopper.  It was so epic.  It ate the grasshopper corncob style.  Amazing to watch.

It's moments like these that I absolutely love.  I'm such a bug addict and feel like I've won the lottery when I come on a bug scene that you don't
see everyday.  I can loose myself for hours just watching them do their bug thing.  I've been know to lay in my yard with my camera trained on a bug doing something I find fascinating.  I don't remember being this bug obsessed with bugs as a child but am happy to report that as an adult I am a total bug addict.
