I love the preying mantis! It makes the shot for me.
I've wanted to photograph one all summer and never saw one, once... that is until I was at work one morning and didn't have any of my cameras with me. Fortunately, my job requires me to have a camera in my work van (admittedly not the best, but the company bought it.) At least, I was able to capture one shot with it before it got annoyed and flew off. However, mine wasn't as nice as this, that's for sure! Great work!
Come spring time, I'm going to order a mantis egg case and hatch my own to photograph and release. A 2 for... pest control and macro model. ; )
