Anyway... she loved them, but didn't see them very often. Whenever she did see them, she'd get so excited. Especially when they were in her garden. <br /><br />Three years ago, she passed away from breast cancer. For the entire week following her passing, my brother (her husband) saw a praying mantis EVERY SINGLE DAY! He saw one in the garden, one was actually on the hood of his car, he saw one at work, etc. We both believe it was Lisa saying hello.Susan Stevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13500332874463941099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3657625150805629106.post-74649099159377425472011-08-23T07:25:40.856-07:002011-08-23T07:25:40.856-07:00Susan, I can see my biology lesson was not retaine...Susan, I can see my biology lesson was not retained!! It's one of those things to me like when someone gets their directions off...and say "down there" when referring to a trip to Anchorage!! hahaha I just can't refrain from corrrecting them. <br /><br />Tell Limner daddy long legs are alive and well populated in Alaska! I despise those things....<br /><br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3657625150805629106.post-10112791363517480232011-08-22T13:18:49.035-07:002011-08-22T13:18:49.035-07:00I had never seen one hiss until the other night.. ...I had never seen one hiss until the other night.. that was something, I mean it would not back down, just reared up spread it's wings in attempt to give the largest frontal appearance, and let out this unmistakable hissing sound that I had never heard before.

Turns out it was another praying mantis. This one was cream colored and when it landed on my neighbor's car, it started hissing. My cat immediately ran across the road to check it out. The world has such wonder if we stop to look!<br /><br />P.S. I like Limner's motto: Photograph and release!!Suddenly Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12483813654827621158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3657625150805629106.post-33099953283506353182011-08-21T17:48:00.352-07:002011-08-21T17:48:00.352-07:00Your attitude warms my heart.

My motto: Photograph and release. It's the same with snakes. People see one and want to kill it.<br /><br />Remember daddy longlegs? They used to be as common as flies in Texas. I haven't seen one since the 70s. We are losing these gems to pesticides, slowly but surely.<br /><br />Thanks, too, for a lovely post. You helped improve an already near-stellar day. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
