This photo journalist was taking a photo of this Praying Mantis when it crawled up on this fern that was just before it extend it's leaves.

I call it the "Thorax" seat. (Corbin will copy it next week) In the photos in the address below check out the fern's curled stems. They actually look like tires on rims!
Each person who look at this sees something else different, but they all see a great bike!
Dare I say a: "BUG BIKE?

Be sure and check out the site below. It has the same photo, but much better (bigger). It is a must see.
