Preying Mantis

I spotted this interesting insect this October, I have never seen one before. This Chinese Mantis (Mantid) was hunting Box Elder bugs near the house. It did indeed catch and eat some," Good "can't eat enough of those pests to suit me. The Chinese Mantis was introduced to North America around 1895 for insect pest control it is our largest Preying Mantis, it was neat to see.
