Contrary to popular belief the ladies don't always eat their mate after "doing the deed". They only do that 16 percent of the time.
This guy was really very friendly.

Ready for my closeup
I haven't seen a praying mantis around the barn in ages. We used to see them all the time.

OK, I actually can tolerate lots of insects. I actually don't kill any and will capture and release if they are in the house. But Preying Mantis (and centipedes) freak me out. I had one land on me as a kid and since then I get the willies when I see one. Fortunately, that hasn't been very often. :-) I would never kill one, of course, but I certainly would not be petting him like you are!!!
