I have like..over 100 photos of this big girl xD I don’t see mantises very often around where I live, maybe 1 or 2 per year, so I wanted to get as many photos of her as I could. You can see how I became more comfortable around her over the course of our time together (at first I had her on a broom but eventually began offering my hand as a step ladder.) She was really sweet, but started to get annoyed at me near the end so I left her alone. ‘u’

It’s hard to pick out which ones I like the best!
