      The internet delivers when you least expect it. Somebody ID-ed it on FB whilst I wasn't even asking for identification lol. Posted 3 years ago

    It reminds me of my children when they would get caught doing something they weren't supposed to. "Who me?"
    The wings so closely resemble the leaves and it's a great shot.     Posted 3 years ago

      That sounds a lot more tolerant compared to the parenting style of a praying mantis, which is to eat their own. Posted 3 years ago
