There's been a number of bugs posted. Figured I would put one of mine up that I took some time ago. This one kind of has a look of "What you looking at, Willis?"

    Honestly, I thought for the first thirty seconds this was an odd capture of a butterfly, but then I saw the praying mantis. Very nice shot! thumb.gif

    Nice capture, Scott. thumb.gif To me it looks like he is smiling at the thought of the huge meal ahead.

    Cheers,

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Cheers,
    Actually, by the time I snapped the capture, all the juicy parts were gone. And, when I look at it, I get the feeling the matis is thinking, "What you looking at?"

    It took me a long time to figure out what I was seeing when I was shooting. My first thought was that the butterfly was in a very bad way and hanging funny on the plant. MINTUES later, I figured out what I was seeing. By that time, the mantis had just about finished his lunch. One would have thought I could have figured something strange was going on by the strange motion of the butterfly. But not me!

    Thanks all for looking...

    Yeah, "personality": that look appears to be saying, "Is there a PROBLEM here?"
