They're called "praying" mantises because those front two legs seem to be in the prayer position.

Those are really berries eaten by the local sheep in Hawaii. But don't they loook like black pearls? And the French call caviar "les petites perles" (the little pearls). I had a questioning assessment about the dog, too. He looks like he's trying to keep up with a person in a kayak maybe? Or maybe he's enjoying a nice cool ride! :)Margaret Pangerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995968579194433270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555080137808061408.post-90593077413415984192011-03-30T22:19:05.536-04:002011-03-30T22:19:05.536-04:00Thank you, Grammy!

Both the gecko and the mantis like insects; the mantis is especially predatory.
