Munching Mantis
We had some pumpkin plants come up on their own in this summer's garden, in between our squash plants.

In the morning we found this praying mantis enjoying his breakfast on our newly harvested pumpkin.

Those are really neat pictures. It has almost a human quality to it, in the way it holds its food.
