Up close with a praying mantis in Cambridge.

Found this praying mantis "hanging around" on the clothesline.

Red-spotted purple taking care of a Sedum plant in the morning sun.

This praying mantis is helping to control the stink bug population.

What looked like a piece of dust gently floating in the breeze was a beautiful bug when I examined it up close.

Garden companions: bugs and zinnias.
