My Religion? Praying Mantis

If you see one of these attached to a stalk of dry grass - be respectful. 

This is the cocoon of a praying mantis [1]and the winter sleeping bag of your summer "envelope  of protection" against insects that want your blood. 

There really is an "envelope"
around us - but rather than respect it - we get nervous and go after it with Raid. 

Every summer  bats, spiders,  dragon flies, praying mantis' and many other insect hunters shield us from insects that want to feed on us. 

RES_PECT!  Find out what it means!  

Let nature wrap you up in its protective envelope...
