Bugging out

Not all bugs are welcome at 5222. But we did make an exception for a rogue cicada and, apparently, a praying mantis.
You can tell this is not one of our every-17-year friends because his eyes are black (not red). That, and he'd be a year late.
And despite what Aunt Liz says, I don't remember seeing a praying mantis around here before. Other than Manny, Will's rubber bug he received as part of his consolation prize at his last doctor's appointment/immunization torture session.

Aside from the occasional daddy long legs, other bugs need not apply.
