Yesterday we were in Invercargill and Bluff on a fine but windy day and we had a great time. Took lots of photos. Saw new and interesting things. Just sayin’ because I haven’t got time to make much of a post just now but thought I’d share this character with you that I found in the city centre area. Some street art in a shop window.

My sister and I hatched some mantises, when we were kids, to release in the garden, so we had a chance to really watch them. Even as little ‘uns, they’re kind of terrifying. Their head swivel around 180 degrees, their arms are powerful and incredibly quick – – if we were prey-sized, we wouldn’t have a chance.
