will prayers unlock this door?

A praying mantis found doing whatever praying mantis’ do on a door in Kotor, Montenegro. Thanks again Phat for bringing my attention to this since I would have walked by without noticing.

 

“fun” fact: The female praying mantis often rips off the male’s head during mating and eats it – this energy boost, in the form of proteins, helps the female to lay hundreds of eggs … (after done with the mating the female will eat the rest as well – nothing wasted)
