HELP! Praying Mantis on the door, what do we do???
I took a pic of him, he's huge!
It looks like one of his wings is bent backwards, you can't see it in the picture.
This is the door to my business, I don't think I can just leave him hanging out there all day long ...

I'd pick it and put him/her in a bush or some grass. Hopefully it's OK

We have huge one too in our building. One of the guys is letting him hang out in his office and eat all the bugs that come in! It is the biggest praying mantis I have ever seen!

That may be the coolest thing I've read all day! You must work in a fun office?

Yes - it's a fun group! He said that as he was working it walked onto his hand and he got a little startled!

Re: HELP! Praying Mantis on the door, what do we do???
I found one on my car once, scared the heck out of me for a second! I scooped it in my hands and put it on a shrub.
Did you know they're not protected by law and never were? That's a big myth. They're still awesome and I loved having them in my garden!

That's good to know ... I really thought they were protected!
It seems to have gone away on its own ... we just left it alone for a while.
Otherwise I was gonna ask for volunteers to come move it for us

I totally thought you photoshopped this, it looks like MOTHRA hanging out on the sidewalk; then I went back and read he's on the door of your place

I know! I thought it was a joke--it looks like it is standing on the sidewalk.
