	Voted 10/10	What is this ... everybody seems to be afraid of Mister Mantis! To tell you the truth, I find it a lot more scary to drive down the freeway, especially I-5. The last time I avoided it all together, and went through Yakima over Chinook Pass. It was great, but I didn't get any pictures. Which reminds me of your pictures, Karl. They are wonderful!

	Voted 10/10	I concede ... you're right, Tiger! I don't have any roses to trim, but the Landlady does. Mr. Mantis is truly an agressive creature. It has to be, in order to survive among the roses! : - )
