National Geographic II

Since seeing the spider the other day, I now wear my glasses when taking out the garbage in case I run into something unusual.  Today was no exception!  I saw what I think is a praying mantis on the wall.  It was a good 5" long and just sat peacefully on the wall.  Unfortunately there were TONS of ants running around the ground by this guy so every time I tried to get close to take a picture my bare feet (sandals) would start to get ants crawling on them which wasn't really a good feeling.  Plus there's a light post above me and lots of bugs flying around/landing on my body (no shirt on) which is also a gross feeling.
