And another Mantis


I've seen more of these guys in the past week than I've seen in the past 5 years. May have something to do with being in Montana for the fall in the past 5 years, but still, I've seen a lot of praying mantises lately. This one was sunning itself in the afternoon sun on the south side of the chicken shed, a nice warm place after the chilly mornings we've been having. Not too much longer now and you'll be able to call it winter...

Allright, what are you using for a camera? I am in the market for my own so I can stop using my wife's old one.

Well, my regular, real camera is a 6 year old Canon A540, but this picture was taken with my Droid X on the macro setting. So I guess I would suggest "The Cheapest One You Can Find" because it is probably about the quality of what I've got.

You got damned lucky with your lighting, then. Hip hip.

Luck favors the prepared. Hence, the phone is in my pocket all the time.
