Praying Mantis

Last night sitting out on the patio, I looked down and saw not one, but three praying mantis.  I can't remember the last time that I saw one.

They are such an interesting looking insect.  If you weren't careful, you would think that is a small twig.  It is the only known insect that can turn its head and look over its shoulder.  As well as having great vision and they see in 3-D.  Pretty impressive!

I am always curious about all the different insects that God created.  Why would God create a praying mantis?  To find out, these magnificent insects help farmers and gardeners by eating moths, mosquitoes, roaches and flies.  

There life expectancy is from a few months to a year.

And also, who doesn't like a little good luck.  Seeing a praying mantis is a sign that you will experience a stroke of good luck.  It is also a symbol of calmness, focus and concentration.  Its magical color is is a symbol of the Earth and it is a symbol of peace and harmony with a nature.

Go out into your garden or look in the shrubby and see if you can find one of God's creatures, the praying mantis!
