A Visitor

I'm going to share some more before & afters of the ugly house today but first I thought I'd share a fun shot I took yesterday.

I found this praying mantis wandering along outside my front door yesterday and had to run inside to get my camera. It was in quite the hurry though, so it only stopped a moment to pose for this picture. :) Unfortunately, I didn't get a full body shot so I haven't been able to figure out if it's a boy or a girl.
