Jay's very close encounter with a gigantic insect.

Jay has a very close encounter with a praying mantis. In some cultures the praying mantis is seen as a spiritual messenger. The two hours Jay spent with this gigantic insect may or may not have been a spiritual experience, but it was profound in ways he won't soon forget. This remarkable creature reminded him to slow down and spend time quietly observing the wonders around him.
