Wonderful capture! I love how he is looking at you (that little poser)...and the shadow is marvelous!
ReplyDeleteI notice that both of you Ladies refer to the poor creature as HE. Is that a slip of the tongue or because you know of the female Mantis' proclivity to decapitate the Male as culmination of a certain activity. Michelle, I didn't know that YOU were a WoW Syster like Syster Tammy LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat creepy by the way!
Ron, I'm not sure how to tell if it is a he or a she. :) "It" kept walking up the wall and then would stop and turn to look at me. Then walk a little more and look at me again. It is a little praying mantis because the ones I've seen in the past have been a lot bigger. Guess I'm out of the loop on the WOW Syster comment. Want to fill me in?
ReplyDeleteCool! Love the way the eye glows-it looks other-worldly.
ReplyDeleteI'm still looking for one this year. Last year I snapped one when the wings were unfurled showing amazing coloration.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I've ever seen one of these other than on TV. Fun find!
ReplyDeleteThey are such fascinating little creatures and seem so gentle. Well, if you overlook that whole beheading thing Ron mentioned.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good when you blow it up. He really is giving you the evil eye.
