That mantis shot is amazing! I love how you got hit to be profile, and turn its head toward the camera. Nice!

Loving it, Kris! Nice bokeh, too!

Mantis always look at you when you stick a lens close.

Well since someone ventured away from the bee topic, not mentioning any names but her initials are Francine

, lets just change it to 'Bugs'.

Of course I have a couple.

Another amazing Mantis shot!

Here are some bug shots I took in the Amazon:

Whiptail Scorpian (completely harmless, we even put these on our faces for grisly photos)

I am a 6' 5", 280 pound, full grown man. and I am telling you, if I ever saw that whiptail scorpion in real life, I would flat out faint.

the end.

So, you're saying you wouldn't do this?

Even my wife did!

Consider them the daddy-long-legs of the Amazon. They might be able to do harm if we were sugar ants, but otherwise, they can't bite us.
