My friends and I were relaxing on their deck and were joined by a baby praying mantis. I popped a closeup lens on my phone, but when I tried to take the picture the mantis jumped onto the phone! (This picture was taken with my regular camera.)
Eventually, I coaxed it into letting me snap this shot with the closeup lens. (Working with insects takes patience!) [Linking back to Macro Monday and i heart macro.]
Such a cute little guy! I didn't know what he was sitting on until I read that it was a lens you put on your camera. I'm impressed by that since I only text with my phone :)
Fascinating critter.
ReplyDeleteThe lighting makes the head appear almost translucent.
