Long story short...I brought a Praying Mantis home to photograph. I set up a mini-table top photo studio over by a sliding glass door for natural light. I had big green leaves and a yellow flower. I had a blast photographing him. Sometimes he ran up my arm, sometimes he stared right at me, sometimes he turned his head and watched my TV. Here are two of the out-takes that make me smile. He would run over to the edge of the white board I had set up...he didn't quite know what to do when he reached the end of his world.
He is back living in my friends flower garden now...he does miss the TV though.
I love the photo of "Fred" on your website. I think he could have had his own reality TV show! Love the outtakes.
