Praying mantis on the porch
Was pleasantly surprised to find this guy yesterday while taking the dog out yesterday. According to Isabella Rossellini , if this is a male he hasn't mated yet because his head is still intact.
p.s. This was taken with my old camera, as I don't have a macro lens for my DSLR yet.
A really good pot is in the details. --Doug Casebeer at the Ceramics Workshop in Jamaica '10
There's only one way to grow while making art: take risks and allow yourself to make a lot of bad work, then look at it. I consider what is working well, what missed the mark or confused the reading, what needs to be adjusted on the next one. --Linda Arbuckle in The Penland Book of Ceramics
All great actions have been simple, and all great pictures are. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Almost all photos are my property (even the bad ones). Please ask if you would like to copy them. Don't think anyone would, but just in case please ask. Thanks!

That's so cool. Bella just asked me what a praying mantis was a few days ago. I can't wait to show her this.
Good pictures of the Mantis even without the macro lens. It does like like it was kinda sick. Maybe the poison was/is still working.

PS: The Saki set looks very nice too!
I'm glad I am not a praying mantis....
