カマキリ Mantis

I met this BIG mantis at the lodge entrance the other day. It was around 20cm long!
Believe it or not, I am interested in such non-ordinary insects...I know my interests are very unpredictable! ^^;



A picture to give an idea about it's size

Look at the eyes in the following picture, he is truly posing for the camera!! (^▽^)

Looks like it can pluck out eyeballs with its front legs/arms. Good thing I wear glasses! :shivers:

「チーズ」の写真がとてもいいですね。
カマキリは、私にとって、子どもの時の思い出です。今はあまり見なくなりましたが、私が子どものときはうちの周りに、たくさんいました!
I think that it is not easy to survive for them in the big city.
ahh,"he(or she)" is survived! we have to respect...

カマキリはおもしろいと思います~
実はロッジの周りに木や草がいっぱいあって、夏も蝉の歌がずーっと聞こえます^^
