Praying Mantis Spotting
Speaking of noticing stuff, as I mentioned in my last post, here is another small example.
While we were touring around Kyoto, visiting Ginkaku-ji for our second time, we looked down and were delighted to see a praying mantis walking around the carefully sculpted perimeter of a zen garden. I don’t believe that I’ve ever seen a mantis before, at least in a natural setting, and it was pretty cool. They are really interesting little things.
