Blaze makes a new friend — and shows no fear — at the new exhibit David Rogers’ Big Bugs at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix, Ariz. This praying mantis is one of 11 giant bugs on display at the gardens. Blaze is surrounded by some of Arizona’s native cacti, while the Papago Buttes make an appearance in the background.
