Is there something on my face?

This little guy landed on my son this morning.

Ha ha

I was on the city bus years ago and a woman had a great big praying mantis sitting right on top of her hairdoo. She did not know it was there.

I thought about it and decided to tell her. She freaked out, then got immediately off the bus. Probably should not have told her.

I felt bad for the mantis

Glad to see you brought up your son to not freak out- great photo!

Nice photos, what camera are you using, really sharp.

I was thinking the same thing. The second photo is amazing! That's gotta be a macro shot.

She was probably mantis depressive.

Hi Milkman,

It's a Nikon D90 with the 18-105 kit lens. Photo #2 was manual focus, both were hand held with a little fill flash.

They say that they are lucky. I love to watch them hunt. If you blink at the wrong time you'll miss the strike.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

LOL

Agree about the camera, I'm still waffling on what to get and am leaning towards the D90 as I think my old Nikkor lenses should fit it.
