Iraqi Mantis in Jungle Camo


Praying Mantis Posted by Picasa

Today we came across this Mantis while moving some Camo-netting. It was nice to see some color for once. Most bugs here are either to small to see and biting you or blend in with the brown dirt that is Iraq. Even the Ladybugs here are tan/brown. A friend said to me yesterday that they are "naked ladybugs, out without their spots." Well, spots can be found but there is no bright orange or reds for sure. I don't know if praying mantis' have a religious preference or not but I would assume this little guy is muslim here in Iraq.

I've waited long enough without saying anything.

Post something!

Gotta live vicariously through you.

New content needed, IMO.
