.....Mantis religiosa

So, I was out collecting canine dung (sorry)...and came across this praying mantis. I took this lovely shot with my Canon PowerShot SD 450 Digital Elph. I was zoomed in a fair amount, which I thought would affect the picture more, but was surpised that it still came out pretty clear.

I think the lighting actually turned out pretty favorable and all in all this was a successful photo shoot with Mr. Mantis. He cooperated very well.

P.S. For Cyrus and Benjamin....hope you enjoyed my post! :)

I hope you all knew this was a joke. I wonder how Mr. Mantis would have looked with Cyrus' fancy new lense? Probably pretty amazing.
