Mantis II

Can't pass up a blip opportunity like this! A friend at work alerted me to the presence of this large praying mantis outside the studio this morning. Not sure what he was going to catch on the side of the trash can but he posed for plenty of shots before I got one with the head in focus.

FWIW - Mantis one is here.

Once again I am caught up with posting. Comments are next, I promise.
Oktoberfest blips start here.
