Balcony Visitor

So the other day I thought I saw a bird fly onto our balcony. It turns out it wasn't a bird, it was a HUGE praying mantis. I didn't know they could get that big; all the ones I've seen have been a LOT smaller. It didn't want to leave, it kept hanging out and we kept watching it. Brooklynn was really excited about it, she kept calling it a "big bee!"

We finally got it to fly away when we helped Brooklynn try and "pet" it. We have the strangest things come and visit us on our balcony.
