A friend here in the county needed some help with some yardwork, so we went with Jimmy today to help out. We cleaned out a flower bed, mowed grass, and got the grass clippings and leaves off the lawn, in preparation for some other folks who would be coming in the next few days to prepare the yard for winter.

In the flower bed, there was a praying mantis on one of the bushes...

 |
It seemed to be wondering what these people were doing.
|
 |
I thought that the brown might have been a fall coloration, and maybe it is, but what I have read on the internet indicates that they may change colors after moulting.
|
 |
And why they were sticking that rectangular contraption up next to him.

We had a good day, and were glad to help out, but... now we're quite sore!
