Field Notes

Notes:

I caught this mantis late at night, and brought him inside to take a few photos, not thinking he would fly around! Well, as soon as I released him in the bathtub, he started flying. Eventually, he seemed content on the top of the bathroom door. I got one good photo and promptly released him.
