Praying Mantis, Baltimore County, Maryland, United States of America
Alien Predator

Species: Praying Mantis | Location: Baltimore County, Maryland, United States of America

I was walking around a junkyard with my friend when we found this tiny alien, and I was surprised how close she let me get ... I practically had the camera lens inches away when I took the picture.
