Speechless Sunday: An Exciting Visitor - the Praying Mantis

Bette - I have not seen a praying mantis in a long time.  They are quiet and peaceful.  That is a good message for us to remember.

Hi Bette,  The Prayuing Mantis, fits your title as it has a message without even having words to explain. Peace, quiet and meditation.

Bette, what a great photo, if I did not know better I would have said WOW that is a really big one:)) Hope all will work out for you, Endre

Hi Bette, thanks for sharing the picture of the praying mantis.  It was a nice reminder that God is in control.

Hi Bette,

I don't know what it is about the praying mantis but I always get a thrill seeing one. For me, they are rare to see. You captured it well!

Seeing a praying mantis is a rare sight and wonderful pleasure indeed.

Great pic.

Good morning Bette, I am sure the praying mantis is a good sign. Thank you for sharing th photo.

Good morning Bette. I never knew the symbolism of the praying mantis. Nice and thanks for sharing.

Bette,

 Great picture and yes it is a sign from God that all is well! I hope you are having a great weekend!

Bette, aren't these the creatures where the female bites the head off of her mate after mating?  Looks so sweet and peaceful!

On Sunday no less! This poem writes itself very much so indeed! love and light as per the usual. Love and light!

All is going to be alright. Peace. God's creatures give us hope and remind us of how small we really are.

Thanks for sharing your photograph. I hope this is a very good sign for you.

Males for dinner.

Good afternoon Bette ... that was definitely a sign for you to relax and let go.  Everything will be okay.  Have a great day and thanks for sharing  Nice post!

I did not know about about all the Praying Mantis's is supposed to symbolize.  Thank you.  Go within and breath deep.  Focus will find you at the bright side of the tunnel.  Mark

I never knew this about them.  Now when I see one, I will have a whole new attitude, thank you!

I did some research about them. They are predators that feast on live insects, including moths, mosquitoes, roaches, flies and aphids, as well as small rodents, frogs, snakes and birds! Not as innocent as they look like.
