My neighbor called, come quick. He had this Praying Mantis in his screened porch.
He moved it to the flower for me.
Then outside, where he really blended in with the environment.
Here the Mantis had seen enough of me and my camera.

This guy is almost invisible; the ones I have seen are much greener.
ReplyDeleteThey sure move funny. good pics!
Hi Leedra!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Praying Mantis :) It looks a lot like one I took a few pictures of last summer. I think it's a Chinese Mantid specifically.
I can't wait to peruse the rest of your blog and then on to your photography website!
I think that I got my blog fixed up for better dialup viewing. Let me know if it's better. Thanks for visiting!
Leedra: What a wonderful capture and they hide so well. I haven't seen one all year in the garden.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason those are insects that seem intelligent to me. They almost look at you a if they're trying to communicate.-Cool photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Leedra. I think praying mantids are so cool. I actually think they are among the easiest to photograph - probably because they don't move as quickly as other insects. And I love how they "pose" for you until they tire of our endless picture taking. ;o)
