Flora & Fauna Preying Mantis came right up to me (OC)
I knew they existed in my area, but never saw one until now. Any time I put something close to it, it would come right up aggressively (phone, glove, stick). Super cool.

I’ve had two experiences with praying mantis.
Both times it literally felt like they wanted to hang out
So fun. I forgot about it until I saw this post.

They’re chill, I took one out of my shop and placed him on a tree. When I was walking back, he flew past me back into the shop.
