    Cool Praying on UN MMD

    While spraying the mulch beds this afternoon my UN MMD became prey to this beast.

    So........"Say hello to my little friend"

    Hard to see but he is there:



    "Trying to ignore time"



    "Resting on time"



    "What time is it?"



    "Time to go"



    What you are seeing is a Praying Mantis juvenile. So young it does not have its wings yet.

    A few non watch shots of this little guy:

    Did you say you were spreading manure with your little buddy? He seems to be staring at what he thinks is the source of the fertilizer.

    Really a lovely piece and thanks for sharing the beastie and the watch. Aloha

    Great praying mantis watch shots, Stephen and twostirish222! Great watches, too!

    Do you think they're drawn to the shine of the metal(watches, ring)?
    Take care,

    I have allways bin a secret admirer of that watch
    The burgundy looks super cool , wish I could see that in more watches, great colour, I even grew to like it on the yellow strap (took a bit, but I got there).

    And of course great shots , allways good to see life incorparted into watch pics.

    Crooked date hate!!!

    I just think it's funny that someone else had a shot of their watch and a Praying Mantis.
