16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
American praying mantid nymph

When I began to have seizure in 2017 I was faced with many difficulties including my inability to work. I became enchanted by praying mantids. The nymph in the photo was hatched October 31st 2018. This name is Jeff. Jeff is staring in his Veterans Day photo. I currently have over 200 mantids in my care. It has given light to my darken days.
