Praying Mantis

I found this praying mantis sitting on a leaf of a Jerusalem Artichoke. It is in a defensive stance, and it's not sure if I am a threat--it's ready to strike out if necessary. I like having mantis' in my yard, because they eat all kinds of pest bugs; and I go out of my way to keep from accidentally harming them.
