The Praying Mantis and Lily with 2 of her buddies, Amber and Bandit

This is a Praying Mantis. Lily and I found it sitting on a bucket that we have placed under the motor home. The bucket is there to catch water from the air conditioner, we then use that water to give all of our plants a drink. As you all probably know, Florida is in a record setting drought and we are on limited watering, we can water one day a week, so in between we use this water to give our plants a good drink. It works out really well.
This is Lily Kai along with our two dogs. Amber is the little one and Bandit is the biggest one. Lily is so gentle with them and they really love her. Amber loves to take naps with Lily or sleeps with her during the night. Bandit on the other hand really just likes to be left alone. That's not a bad thing. Anyway, these are our dogs, they are Shih Tzu's, and we love them alot and are especially proud of how good they are around Lily Kai.

Hi Mom - are you sure that is a praying mantis? It looks like a grasshopper! :)

How you doing with making a word or phrase a link?

Thats a cute picture of Lily and the dogs. I bet she has had a great time with you, although I am equally sure you are ready for a rest. We always say we love having the grandildren to stay but we need a rest between visits.

Karen you might be correct but it's really, really green and did not hop away like a grasshopper would, we could have handled it, if we wanted to, very docile like a mantis.
