We had a pair of praying mantis sitting in my flower bed, right outside the door. i've been watching them for days, expecting that they will mate soon. Then on Monday, one of chickens ate the male! Doh! i have no idea what this means for the female who has a very swollen abdomen. i don't think they mated yet, since the male was still hanging around. Last summer we witnessed a pair mating, and then the female laid her egg cases in our flowerbed and we watched them hatch this past spring. It was really neat, and of course i took lots of pictures. The babies were so incredibly tiny. :) Love your blog! Lovely!

Here in the Netherlands I have every night a conversation with a katydid. I do not like his stories, because I get goosebumps. Have a nice Sunnyday! Hi Lisa
