O.K. so no retro this week, but the mantis in all its forms is enough for me.
Cute guy, but if I met him in person I'd freak because I have a bug phobia. The phobia has gotten a little better the older I get.

Those shots certainly highlight how he got his name. Nice one G.
My poem is here.
Buggy little bug. Wonder what he'd taste like dipped in chocolate? LOL. Good work.
Nice bug, nice haiku. Good one all around.
The Praying Mantis and the Walking Stick are two of my favorite insects (along with those champion mosquito feasters the dragonfly).
I love your play on words, G-Man!

Well, G-Man, it's a bit retro to ME, because I remember catching praying mantises as a kid. Nice haiku!
wow - this picture is just amazing - they look so elegant, don't you think?
I pray he finds food./ Never know where the car goes/traveling mantis.
Good one. Thanks for posting. Gay
One of my favorite bugs. Just a step down from dragonfly. I like haiku.
i didg mantises. they are just uber groovy bugs.
Oh, good one, G-Man. Preying/reaper - I'll never look at one in quite the same way again.
Retro or not, the mantis did it for me!!
