was a (presumed) female shouting at headless (presumed) male "you slept with her, didn't you??"

Love the mantises and their occasional odd city appearance. They are ruthless carnivores but they do eat plenty of "bad" bugs so we were always happy to see them in the garden.

There was one that size this weekend next to the door fob for my office on Canal Street too. They must be in season.

They are related to mantises and tend to appear this time of year. I have found them once on a warm coffee cup and several other times on the screen door in the back of my house, warming up in the sun.

They are reclusive and rare to see, but totally amazing mimics. The larger ones look like woody brown sticks, the smaller ones like small green sticks.

They murder insects and small birds with abandon. If Ellen Ripley was real they would be her foe in the insect world.

I was glad to read he took it and let it out at Community--it would be sad if someone squished it :p

I would have preferred to let it out the door it was perched next to, but that would have been North Station. So, I grabbed it by a leg and flung it outside. It promptly started flying then landed on the yellow strip by the north bound tracks. I assumed it wanted to go back to where it came from.
