Nature Caught Spying on Nature Writer

All NatureNotes posts should be so easy.

A typical-seeming photo of my desk

that turns out not to be so typical after all.

Good morning, praying mantis, and welcome. Care for some coffee, or are you here to keep an eye on me?


Update: What a praying mantis was doing indoors, and how it might survive, was not immediately obvious. Later in the day, however, during a recording session, a musical "B", slightly out of tune with my guitar, was heard emanating from somewhere on the desk. It was finally tracked down, and turned out to be a fly making the tone of a "B" while having its head eaten by the praying mantis.
