The Fisher Price worker has been part of my ‘stuff’ reminding me of my adult children’s favorites toys  of 40 or so years ago. On a whim, I placed the worker on the rail next to the mantis and took this photograph. Much to my surprise the mantis seemed to ‘chat’ for a while before taking off to look for a proper mate.”
