Praying Mantis up close. Look right into it's Alien eyes!

You can actually see it looking right at Sharon eye to eye! LOL. Check out this cool, up close Kapper Outdoors wildlife video of a Praying Mantis. Sharon really enjoys photographing and videotaping wildlife on our very rural Southern Illinois farm that is nestled among the thousands of acres of the Shawnee National Forest. In today's photography vlog she was able to capture this praying mantis from it's underside as it was perched on our barn shop window. If you look close you can really see what it is doing. It sure looks like it is tuning up one of it's long antennae!! Also looks to be cleaning it's eye's, and then checking out Sharon up close before deciding to depart the area! Also a slow motion capture of the praying mantis taking flight. Thanks for joining us today, hope to see you on some future videos. Kapper Outdoors, living the dream, one acre at a time.
