Praying Mantis

 


I took a walk at the Desert Botanical Garden yesterday morning and I found this praying mantis lurking on one of the garden trails.

This is the work of Alex Heveri and was gifted to the garden by Cliff Douglas.  

I found quite a few more sculptures created by the same artist and all appear to be gifts to the garden.  I'll show those sometime in the next few weeks.

I thought it was a grasshopper.

That is fun, Sharon.

I was prepared to see a real one, so when I saw how big it was, it gave me a momentary fright!

That is absolutely fantastic.
