Description

I've always enjoyed taking images of things right in my own back yard but I never thought of sharing them. However, I've enjoyed so many wonderful images uploaded by "Newpy", I decided that maybe someone out there might also enjoy mine. Thank you Newpy, your "Looking At Me" image inspired me to share this one!

I always marvel at the expressions bugs appear to have. Fun photo!

"I wasn't doing anything! I swear!" Nice capture, yes they do get that big. They aren't as common as the smaller ones, I even had a pic of a white one, that was interesting

Well bless your heart, Linda! That is fabulous! That is much better than the one I have of a Praying Mantis. The one I had was dying. It was the first time I had ever seen one or even that big. You have captured this beauty in a fabulous pose! I agree with GBCalls on the expression. It is priceless. And thank you so very much for the kind words, you have made my day!
