Nature Art Time...
When this guy landed in my son's yard, my daughter-in-law looked at it as a teaching and art opportunity. What fun that I was there to be a part of it all.

In some cultures, a praying mantis can be a sign of good luck or fortune. Native Americans believe the insect came before the creation of man and Earth. Paintings, inscriptions, revered symbols and carvings have the insect depicted as a symbol. The bugs represent wealth, success, large families and the cycle of life.

My mantis was my first attempt at watercolor artistry. I was pretty pleased with myself. I'm now motivated to do more. Creativity is found in the most interesting of places.

Nice work. I love praying mantises. I wish they were more common! Did you know that praying mantises are the only invertebrate that are known to see in 3D? This is what makes them such skillful hunters.
