I found great interest in watching a praying mantis when I lived at my mom's in South Holland, IL. in 2007. I would even catch grasshoppers to feed to the praying mantis so that maybe it would hang around longer. It stayed in the marigolds most of the time and then left when the temperature started dropping right before winter. I think this is my best photo of a praying mantis eating. I took this photo with a 35mm Olympus.

I graduated from Governors State University with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art with a concentration in Photography and Digital Imaging. I am also a mother of two. I have gone through very hard times in my life but have made it through mostly everything. My son was diagnosed with Autism in 2009. Some days are harder than others. We make it through! I started going to school after I went through counseling for domestic violence issues that I had with my children's father. I was motivated by some of my family and friends but mostly by my counselors and my fiance. I am truly grateful for those who were there for me through my hardest times and helped me get back on my feet. My son has been progressing with a lot of help from everyone...
