A little visitor came to my hand 🤔 08/10/25
A praying mantis posing on my hand
Hello friends, I was passing by here and I share with you some images of a little visitor who came to visit me while I was maintaining the plants. At first I was a little scared because I thought it was poisonous but, after finding out that they are not, I decided to get closer.
It is a mantis that was in one of my mother's plants and well, I held out my hand to it to see if it was coming or going but no, curiously it came closer and climbed into my hand, I loved having it in my hand so I could take some photos of it, then I returned it to the plant and left it there peacefully. I liked being able to have seen one in person and have it in my hand.
The images shared have been taken with my mobile phone, they are my author and I hope you like them.
Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
Thank you so much @jswitt 😊🤗
That’s such a beautiful moment — you really captured how delicate and curious these little creatures are! In Germany, praying mantises are very rare, and I’ve only seen one once in the wild. Seeing your photo actually brought that memory back — nature really has its quiet surprises and its own kind of beauty!!!
Hello @jan-philippvieth it's a pleasure to greet you and I'm glad that these images have brought back pleasant memories, I'm also one of those who hadn't been able to appreciate one of these creatures and even have them up close, they are splendid, elegant and somewhat shy, I liked being able to have one for a few moments 😊✨
