I swear this thing was looking at me while I took its picture. Kinda cool but I don't know what it is.

Oooh I think you're right! I didn't hurt him! He seemed very aware of me. And studied me. He didn't try to fly or run away. Just peered at me.

ETA: I've been told "he" is actually "she." Not sure how you can tell haha

I always thought they were the neatest things! They always looked so "smart" to me.

My grandma used to always tell me that when one shows up, someone you know must be lost and needs help finding their way home or back. I recently learned that that's what the ancient Greeks used to believe! Anyone lost that you know of? Rest assured. The praying mantis will help him find his way back!

Pretty neat belief about them, don't ya think?

I hope that person you are referring to is just lost a little and that he or she finds his way soon enough.
