in PA the praying mantis is protected. i only saw one once before this. last year for a few days one hung out on the window at work. this week this beauty has been on my garage. they are pretty big - about 8" long - so it scared me at first. my neightbor, Cyndi was very brave and waited with the dogs so i could go grab my camera - with my 100mm macro. and she even got the little guy to get on a stick so i could take a pic of him NOT on the garage. then she put him back. Cyndi is awesome! i got pretty close for these, so i could 'crop in camera'. he has some mean looking pincers up close - and i was only a few inches away!! i ran a few new presets that i'm trying out, and a few new actions, too. isn't he stunning?! (or is it a she?)
