It's strange that I haven't seen a praying mantis in years and then in one month, I've seen two. Yesterday one large praying mantis was sitting on my car hood like a hood ornament. I thought maybe it means something, so I looked it up and this is what I found:
quick-list of praying mantis symbolism:
Stillness
Awareness
Creativity
Patience
Mindful
Calm
Balance
Intuition
These traits have lead the mantis to be a symbol of meditation and contemplation. In fact, in China, the mantis has long been honored for her mindful movements.
The mantis never makes a move unless she is 100% positive it is the right thing for her to do. This is a message to us to contemplate and be sure our minds and souls all agree together about the choices we are making in our lives.
Overwhelmingly in most cultures the mantis is a symbol of stillness. As such, she is an ambassador from the animal kingdom giving testimony to the benefits of meditation, and calming our minds.
An appearance from the mantis is a message to be still, go within, meditate, get quite and reach a place of calm. It may also a sign for you to be more mindful of the choices you are making and confirm that these choices are congruent.
I guess I will take it as a message.

maybe it's a sign for you to reflect and spend time in prayer. Meditate....their are sites here for spiritual growth....join one. IF you don't see one.....then maybe its a sign for you to start one !
