As promised . . . The Praying Mantis. Every October, these creepy little creatures find their way to our property. I found this one as I was mowing the lawn. He was sitting atop a guard rail that borders our yard. I immediately stopped what I was doing and grabbed the camera. Snapped off more than a few shots - the rest can be found here: www.pmkane.com/mantis. As you will see in the gallery, this mantis wasn't the only one to visit me yesterday . . . in fact, you'll see that I interrupted another one - an older mantis from the coloring - during his evening meal! I gotta warn you - if you're a fan of Lady Bugs, the last two shots of this gallery are NOT for you!
Captured with the Nikon 70-200mm at 250th of a second at f/5.6. ISO is down to 100.
