[Technically, her name is Annabelle, and we actually hit it off quite well.] I went on a walk with my friend Catherine to the Chadwick Arboretum & Learning Gardens Phenology Research Garden, a part of The Ohio State University. We saw a sculpture called "Annabelle the Praying Mantis" and thus I was required to pose in a rather precarious position where I was about to become Mantis-Meal while Catherine took a few pictures to capture the moment. This was taken on January 2nd. images/Photos/frank-mantis.png
