This is just wonderful!! When I lived in Louisiana there were tons of these Praying Mantis' around..here in Oregon there are none..So to see this photo is great. I love how you were able to photography him so well! It looks like hes doing a little dance! I can see his eyes...etc..sooooooo well...gosh, this is a great shot of this tiny critter. Keep up the great work..Looking forward to seeing many more things from you. I seem to remember the little blue butterfly on the stones...I saved it too...thanx so much.

My bug phobia stops with these wondeful creatures. They are the only bug that truly fascinates me. They are rare visitors here. About 3 max a season so it's a pleasure to be able to save photos like these. I appreciate that there isn't any background distracting from the details here. Well done.

I'm Glad Everybody is enjoying it.. I had alot of fun trying to stay away from him when I was taking it.. Apparently these little guys get kinda curious when you've got a camera a few inches from them.. It was almost posing for me.. It kept stopping to look at the focus assist light on my camera..

A fine, fine shot of my absolute favorite insect (without a doubt, the Big Cat of the insect world). Nice work.
