Getting Pretty

Name: Praying Mantis

Location: Columbia, MD
Conservation Status: Least Concern


How do you catch big creepy-crawlies when you're afraid of having their prickly legs all over
your skin? Use your shirt, much to the enjoyment of your fiance. It was too good an
opportunity to pass up, so I threw my shirt on this guy so that I could bring him in to my light
box and use him as a (rather unwilling) model. Instead of getting in the classic 'prayer' pose,
he'd stick his arms straight out. Or crawl on my lens.
