Weekend Wildcard Chevron: Praying Mantis

Praying Mantis
8-17-22
Journaling: On the morning of 8-17 when I went out to get milkweed leaves for my monarch caterpillars, I found a praying mantis on the large plant behind the fence beyond the diving board. On Saturday, 8-20, Mark found another praying mantis on the cannas on the other side of the yard.  I wondered if it was the same one even though the coloring was different due to camouflage, they were similar in size.        2022

Creation Details: To complete this challenge I found a chevron paper template and clipped the paper from the kit to the paper. I also found the chevron arrow template and clipped to that as well. I duplicated the praying mantis element and used an adjustment layer to alter the color to mimic the color differences in the two mantises in the photos.

We used to see so many of this type of bug when I was a kid. There were fallow fields nearby and so much milkweed. Your photos are great and I liked reading about your process for the customizing the chevrons! Thanks for joining the challenge.
