They say the praying mantis got its name from the way it holds its front pair of legs, like hands folded in prayer. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mantis is a regular resident of gardens and courtyards, including our one on Bi\u0161evo. The females are this large and violently green. This particular lady was sunbathing on the terrace, so I arranged a little photo shoot<\/em>. She did not object; in fact, she posed. However close I came, she merely turned her head in profile to look even more ravishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is one of those insects with a \u201cweightless effect\u201d: those fragile little legs hold her entire body on a vertical surface. Do the tips somehow hook into the texture? How can she stand like that? Let it remain her secret. Mystery suits her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We studied her for a while and went on our way. Later, Nikola tied his tongue in knots trying to repeat the name of the creature we had met on the terrace\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
