The mantis's hug... — Description

Imagine a church where just insects go to praise God.
A Praying Mantis, a large predatory insect, makes her first (and probably last) visit to this 'insect church'.……

Ms. Mantis takes a seat upon a high-backed bench.

Close to her are butterflies, beetles, flies, and BUGS.

A grasshopper eyes the mantis's menacing front legs.

The preacher says: 'Give your church-neighbors HUGS.'

The mantis's 'hug' becomes a death trap for a fly on its right.

The poor fly soon becomes the mantis's Sunday MEAL.

The 'Lucky Ones' flee, their wings or legs churning.

Ms. Mantis will need to find another church, I do FEEL.
