    Found this praying mantis outside and it crawled on my hand, very friendly. I wanted to take a picture of her on a mirror to get a double image of her, she was not pleased. The wings were only opened for 30 seconds so this is the only shot I have. When the wings came up they made a hissing sound, it freaked me out to be honest, I didn't know they could make sounds. I named her Elphaba because she is green like the witch in Wicked. Hope you all like it, thanks for looking
