No not Peachie (though not for lack of trying!), but when I went out into my back yard this morning these guys were clinging to the outside of our screen door - probably about three dozen teeny tiny eeny weeny baby praying mantises!! They're just so cute!!

I love praying mantises. They’re so cool!
 
I took this picture last summer, on the outside of my mother-in-law’s house. Very unusual, as they don’t typically have them where she lives.

Be careful


They are not to be trusted.


They kill mice even.

A budgie might win because it has a better beak, but I wouldn't put money on it.
 
I'd move them away from my property to eat the bugs they should be eating.

Ooooooooooohhhhhhhh @nkrbkr, s/he's such a lovely colour!!

Don't you worry Clark, we have a resident family of magpies with hungry babies to feed. Thus nature is balanced!
 
Murdering bird killers...ok.
 
Freakn cool! I know someone who keeps exotic mantises as pets :D. I bet she'd have a lot of neat stuff to tell us about them :D.
