What looked at first like an oddly shaped shadow on my living room curtain...

...now back in the front yard where she/he belongs!

"We interrupt our regularly scheduled blog post...
...for an Insect Update!" Giggle.
Looking out my front window mid-day yesterday...
...I noticed a strange shadow on the lace curtain.
Could it be?
Why, yes! A praying mantis was actually inside my house!
I guess the light brown color was as close as she could get to white. :)
After gently trapping her in a large, lidded container...
...my daughter and I placed her back into the front yard, from whence she came.
Although she wandered off before I could get a photo of her in her new, green camouflage...
...having her 'visit' was an exciting treat on an otherwise dull day!
