Description

Ok maybe he wasn't gimantis (he was only about an inch), and not very cooperative but he did stay and protect my zinnia for a few days. Taken with a DSC-T10.

...wunderbare Macro-Aufnahme von diesem "ungewöhnlichen" Tier. Ist das eine Art Gottesanbeterin?

I have two I have been following...one is less than half an inch and the other even smaller. One is all green and the other has 2 red dots on it. Both are too small to focus lock on when in the plants so I have to wait. I envy you having one large enough already to shoot...and you did it so very well.

Fantastic macro of this facinating creature, I have never seen a live one, I would love to have one visit my garden, I think they are so photogenic. He/she looks bemused by your camera and antics trying to capture him. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!
