Description
This female praying mantis is "hiding" on New York Ironweed hoping for an unsuspecting dinner to come by. These large insects are wary but curious, and this one couldn't resist a peek at me.

Congratulations, Carol – your “good camouflage” scene has been featured by the Go Take a Hike Photography Group! Feel free to add it to the 2021 Featured Images thread in the group discussion board for archive.

Many thanks, Larry:>). I was posting it more for the In The Weeds theme but I'm happy to get a feature! There are so many really wonderful images in the group:>)

Great shot, Carol - I found one on my front security door the other day :)
Carol Senske replied:
Thanks:>). They have such curious natures. They also love to eat Spotted Lantern Flies so we don't have many of those pests around - love the mantises!
