A Bug's World - Mantis in a leaf hammock?
2018-06-21 - Along an Adair County Byway - Kentucky - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com
This picture was snapped for the comforting sight of a weathered wooden fencepost and the identify the as yet unidentified plant, a pesticide survivor. But the more interesting element was the variety of insects on the plant, particularly beneath the second bloom from left. Looks a bit like a baby mantis in a hammock or cradle. - EW
