OUT IN NATURE — I'm not too big of a nature girl myself and I'm definitely not a fan of any critters crawling on me but this little girl from Monte Negro, Rondonia, Brazil, welcomes nature with open arms.

This little girl finds a praying mantis on some wood and doesn't even flinch when it starts to crawl all over her. She seems to even enjoy it, even when it starts to crawl on her face.

All I could think about while watching this video was that one scene in the 1998 Parent Trap when Meredith Blake is hiking in the woods with the Parker twins and they prank her by putting a lizard on her head. When she realizes what they've done, she screams with her mouth wide open, allowing the lizard to crawl right inside of her mouth.

My reaction if a praying mantis started crawling on my face would probably be more similar to Meredith Blake. If you're more daring than me, like this little girl, maybe even you can become best friends with a praying mantis.
