Autumn Praying Mantis

I found a praying mantis on the sidewalk heading into the street.
As I was on my walk to find a blip for the day I gave him a ride on my coat to a safer place to be.
We had quite a bit of fun together staging monster insects scenes with various backgrounds before we parted company.
He has his eye on the weather as the first heavy frost will be the end of him; still, it was great to share the moment with him.
