We have seen several praying mantids the past couple of years here in central IL. In strange places too. The first one we saw was on top of a 4 level parking garage. They are not the best of flyers. It's kind of a 'keeping the claws crossed' sort of flight in hopes that they land right side up. I don't know if I've ever seen a walking stick. But I'm not the most observant out in the woods either and it looks like they can be very incognito. Love that picture, Renae!

I really like my digital camera. I never saw praying mantis and walking sticks when we lived up north, but we didn't have a dog then either. Maybe we are seeing them here, because they are trying to get away from Gus. Jennifer,
