Literally. The cat dragged in a praying mantis yesterday. I found her 'playing' with it in the kitchen and was able to rescue it before any serious damage was inflicted. :-)
A treat for the daycare kiddos to get to see and hold the mantis. I loved that not one of them was shy about getting closer to it.

When we were done investigating, we realized replacing it in the backyard would mean certain death as soon as the cats or dogs went back out.
We thought the front entry bushes seemed like a nice safe place to relocate the mantis.
Have a good life, Manty!
