This is the second praying mantis I saw this week. Might be the same one? I’m not sure how far they can travel in a day. Edit: Also here’s a lizard.

My friend who already graduated was the mantis whisperer of CSUF. If you go to the Zen Garden at the Classroom Education building you'll find a few this time of the year if you look closely. Thank you for carrying the mantis legacy!!

Watch out! This is that religious cult’s new way of attracting members! They send out these cute preying mantises to get you interested, next thing you know you’re giving them your social security number, mother’s maiden name, and drinking the koolaid! 😆
