Praying Mantis - Westgate Park

When the chill of Autumn comes, the praying mantis is forced to roam helplessly for food. All of its prey are dying off, migrating or hybernating. Such was the case for this large mantis in Westgate Park. Desparately, he scours a playground for food. Alas, he finds none, and is forced to retreat after the playground is recovered by children.
