Watch where you're treading!

I stumbled across a praying mantis the other day as I walked in the hills on the edge of Montseny Natural Park. In fact, I nearly trod on it as it was crossing the path in front of me. I only had my phone with me (no camera) and so the image is not all that great. I think these animals are so interesting because there is something about their posture that looks a little bit human. There are 12 species of mantis in Catalonia and I'm not sure which species I saw, so if there are any mantis experts out there, please let me know what you think!
