<p>It is a nice cool Sunday morning earlier today, 28July2013, seeing the temps at a cool 62F is heaven at this time of the year.</p>
<p>As I head out to the garden, a mantid was resting by our screened sliding door. Okay, it is nice to see it, but I do not like it standing guard by the door handle area..so after my first cup of coffee, carefully opened the door, took a twig and gently moved the mantid to the glass table. Some photos as I lay it there, observing where it will decide to go:</p>

<p>So maybe it does not want to be too exposed, it has decided to climb up and find its hiding spot by the epiphyllum cutting:</p>

<p>a soft hiding spot for this exploring little one, well, not too little but still small enough and easy to overlook once on the underside of a plant.</p>
