Creeping, crawling in a tree. Hidden, you can barely see. Looking for something to eat. A fly would make a tasty treat. Perhaps a moth would glide on by, and I could give the moth a try. Grasshoppers are fun to chase, if only they’d stay in one place.
A cricket’s song catches my ear. I hope it sings ’til I am near. Can I invite them all to brunch, so I can have a yummy lunch? I only have eyes for you. Come closer and you’ll see it’s true. Oh, don’t worry you’re too big. Just leave me be on my twig.
That’s a great photo of an often elusive insect. When I was a third grader we had a preying mantis for our “class pet”.
I can’t remember how I came across it, but I got a few good pics.
