Mother Nature was showing off her "deceit by camouflage" today.
With an underbelly the color of the living leaves of daylilies and a back the color of the dried scapes, this praying mantis was nearly missed. I was de-browning my daylily bed when I saw a leaping movement. My gaze followed the leap and landed upon this majestic and dignified insect! She graciously held her position while I ran into the house to search for my camera. It has been years since I've seen one and it made my day. I treasure the surprises that gardening brings!
