When it comes to bugs, there are many contenders for otherworldly status. One such is the praying mantis. This one was slowly working its way along a hedge looking for prey, but it kept a wary eye out for the weird looking, big-headed alien creature pointing that glass-fronted box in its direction.

Thanks. By and large, praying mantis are quite cooperative when it comes to photos. Takes a lot to make them fly off.
