I saw this bug today, I think it is a praying mantis but i'm not sure. It's pretty cool huh? It blended in so well I had a tough time seeing it. I'm sorry for the low res pics but the only camera I had at the time was my camera phone.

How could you not be sure it's a praying mantis?

1. It's a bug

Well, no they can't however they have kickass hooks on those forelegs.

Been stuck a few times as a kid.
