Hi Everyone,

Just had to take photos of this regal looking bug.

I know some of you will be greatfull he is on the outside of the pool screen, but you have to admire the the beauty of the thing.

Enjoy.

We had one on our palm tree after hurricane Jeannie. An American friend told us not to touch it, as we could face a fine of $50.000 if caught!!
Like, I would want to touch one of them

Did you mean a Mantis in your tree?

Are they really protected, it is just an insect after all, a cool looking one, but still an insect?
