Bug Convention

27 Sep

My person and I headed up to my trails just like any other day, when I spotted it.

The biggest bug I’ve seen in a long time.

You never know what you’re going to find on my trails.

And the bugs around here seem to have the brightest colors.

But just when I thought I’d seen it all for one day, I turned around.

And there it was.

And I hadn’t even left the parking lot yet.

I figured maybe there was a bug convention meeting in the parking lot so I ought to head out on the trails.

I don’t think those big bugs can fit on my little skinny trails so I should be safe there.

But I was totally wrong.

The big bugs were hanging out in the parking lot, but…

they sent the little bugs on ahead to my trails.

Yikes! I think they’re after me!

There must be a can of bug repellant around here somewhere.

When my person and I came back from our walk we found a mantis over our front door praying for us. I don’t know what a mantis is, but apparently they like to pray a lot. At least this one does because my person says it is a praying mantis.

It’s pretty cool having an insect that’s willing to hang out on top of our front door and pray. I guess that means everyone that walks through the door is blessed.

But what do insects pray for? Is it praying for me and my people, or is it praying for something for itself?

Maybe it’s praying for a little bug to fly into its waiting arms and become its next meal.

Or maybe its praying that no one will spray bug repellant around the door.

It might even be praying that it learns how to make a vase like those ants did the other day and someone will put flowers in it.

Whatever that mantis is praying for I hope it will put in one little prayer for me.

Please, oh please pray that I don’t have to sit in my “Oh no, there’s thunder” pose again.
