| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
The praying mantis are multiplying - my son and I saw 5 on our deck yesterday along with a walking stick! I checked on-line and The Ohio State University reports an increase in the population of this extraordinary insect.
I don't know if it's the time of year, but the bugs are prancing around and posing for me! Perhaps it is because the female lays her eggs in the autumn. |

Depth of field is okay but it's really sad that the background is not so beautiful.
Please next time try to have some grass in the background, just change your point of view or use anything to move the Praying Mantis.
