I once had a praying mantis land on my shoulder while I was riding my bike home (nearly crashed).
She was really friendly and stayed in my place. Eventually she laid an egg-case on a curtain, then our brief affair was over; she got really bitchy, then flew off, probably to die.
In the spring they hatched, and I had about a hundred tiny mantises in my place, managed to only squish a few I think. Then they left to go to Mantis School.
Ah, Glasshopper, reminds me of 70s TV ! Gorgeous, I have taken countless pictures of butterflies but never managed one like that. What camera were you using?
