  • I was watering the cone flowers in my raised flower bed when my watering startled a tiny baby mantis. Running into the house I grabbed one of my camera's and my newly acquired 60mm micro. My best friend Scott snagged it on eBay for me, surprising me a week ago with it after I thought I'd lost out on the bid. He is so awesome!<br /> <br /> This didn't give me a great amount of free working distance for a subject with as keen a set of eyes as one of these guys, so I had to quickly switch to my 105mm. But it was a nice little test for my newest micro lens. A few days later I spotted another baby (or just this guy again on my cactus by the sidewalk at the front of my drive, eating pests, a welcome site indeed.
  • Switching to my 105mm for more working distance to put the little guy more at ease, he was quite aware of my presence, turning his head and looking dead at me.
