Nice shot: Who’s this little guy?
Not sure who this guy is, or why a grasshopper/cricket/whatever would be outside the Porter Square Walgreens at 1 p.m. Wednesday. (Or inside, to be fair.) It seems to be far from home and to have evolved a camouflage as a browning leaf – only slightly misguided in such an urban setting.
Can anyone identify this critter? Or at least figure out what it’s trying to buy?
Praying Mantis.
Right on. Three users have now identified the praying mantis (@camberville on Twitter, another by email) that I should have identified immediately by its distinctive devoutness. Thanks to all.
