Farm Life-Praying Mantis
Along with foal watch, the whole family has been busy mowing fields and working with the new colts. Every year we come across at least one praying mantis and today was the day. Shawn had a close encounter with a gorgeous lady mantis while mowing. Don’t worry, we moved the lovely girl to a safe place as we leave several “wild” areas in each pasture for the local wildlife to live unmolested. Last we saw here she was perched on a log pretending to be a stick! Here’s a photo
