A rustle in the hedge . . .

Mantis with meal 

My wife and I had planned to spend the whole weekend afloat, just cruising on the Lake, but the forecast soon changed that - a near gale warning is current for Hunter Coastal waters. We seem to be enduring an endless procession of such weather at the moment, and the Bureau of Meteorology gets it right far more often than wrong these days, so it was a golden opportunity to catch up on some yard work.  

While I was trimming one of the shrubs, I found a young Praying mantis enjoying a hover fly, and managed to get a couple of shots.  I can't decide about the Mantis' expression; is she thinking "keep your hands off my dinner" or "just a little closer mate - you're next" ???
