Praying Mantis
Yesterday, I go outside to see how my bug zapper is doing. I look down and see this Praying Mantis. Its facing away from me, but as soon as I see it, it turns its head, and looks right at me. I move, his head follows me. His arms rubbing each other, as if he is deciding how to attack me. I slowly return to the house, and take the picture through the window, thats why its kinda blurry. About an hour we had some of the loudest thunder I have ever heard. It kept me up most of the night, and about twice it physically shook the house. Then we had the light show of lightning. That was fun.

He was praying that you kept your bug zapper on. They eat bugs but was keeping a watchful eye on you just in case the frogs ate everything.
I leave and all the strange wildlife comes out, what is up with that?
I can handle the lizards in the house but keep out the frogs (all sizes), the crabs, and the mantis'. Only the lizards can come in and visit.
I think that when Christine was digging everyday all day for two weeks she woke the bugs up. They love all that activity.
