The tiny pink spider that got her. its about 1/16 of an inch. Hopefully I can get a better shot of the spider in the morning before the wind picks up.

    Took me a while to figure out what that second shot was rolleyes1.gif
    The head looks like its on the fly not the mantis ... intesting angle!

    Need to watch your focus flflier, your slightly off on all of these.
    Remember when shooting bugs it is important to keep the EYES in FOCUS.
    The rest doesn't really matter, but those EYES do thumb.gif

    Great effort clap.gif .... Skippy :D

    Thanks for the advice. It got me looking at the diopter and found I knocked it out of wack at some point. Now to keep an eye on that bush to see if she will give me a second chance.
