Geez Jeff! How do you find these shots? A praying mantis enjoying a meal -- that is definitely not something you see every day.

I think you've got a good crawly candidate, here. I love the fly in flight. Poor thing doesn't know what he's in for. Bwahahahahaha. :heh

I'd say it was a good candidate. Great capture.

It is an excellent photograph.

However, I don't find it "creepy." Of course, I grew up in a house where we had lots of preying mantiseses around.

I suppose at a stretch it is "crawly" but not as thematically crawly as it could be, if that makes sense.

Great pic. I agree it doesn't feel real creepy now but play with the lighting in pp, maybe desaturate it and up the contrast some, give it a dark moody feel and maybe it would be perfect.

I dunno - I think it works alright... seems a little contrast-y to me... on this bad monitor...
