Praying Mantis Larvae
I have kept some praying mantis egg pods on the hope that some babies praying mantis will come out from them in the spring or early summer. So I decided to cut one of them to see praying mantis larvae. I took some photos to serve my visitors, who often visit my blog to see praying mantis larvae. Actually these are undeveloped nymphs.

Girl With Water Pitcher
Bringing clean water in pitchers was a part of our tradition some time ago, when there were lack of water wells. Bringing water was the duty of women. For this purpose they had to go to common well of the village or near by river. The best times were early in the morning and after noon. Generally a woman had to carry two to four pitchers, one in her hand and the remaining on head. In the southern areas of NWFP, particularly in district karak, still women had to bring water in clay made pitchers. During in my university life in Gomal University D.I.Khan, while travailing from Peshawar to D.I. Khan, the women walking by road side in a row, with water pitchers, always attract my attention.

Ox Cart
Ox cart or bull cart (Bel gadi-بیل گاڈی) is an essential part of our agriculture system in Pakistan. It is a source of transportation for our farmers. They use ox carts for carrying agriculture products to home or market. Due to high level of poverty our farmers are not in the position to buy expensive tractors or other vehicles for transportation.
