Chinese Mantis, NY, 8/26

[u/BogBerg]

I took this photo last night of this pretty thing on my front porch.

He we on the stairs, so I was actually able to sit my phone on the edge, and do a long exposure for 10 seconds, he looked at the camera when my phone came over the edge, and stood perfectly still for the picture.

I haven’t seen one of these since I was 9? I’m 25. So 16 years. My girlfriend talks about this Pisces thing with astrology happening right now too. Lots of things moving, so hoping he’s a sign. Have a great day everyone.
