a Mantis and her Molt
I've got to get a better camera. My canon powershot is a good all around camera but getting it to focus where I want it too is problematic. I took a dozen pictures trying to capture this mantis nymph and her discarded skin below. I cropped it so it shouldn't be too hard to find in the bottom slightly right of center part of the photo but I know I can get a clearer shot. If I am still obsessed I'll try when it is a bit brighter out. This molt hung from all 4 limbs off a mint leaf. Of the handful I have seen this is the only one like this. Others were on the dirt or hanging by 2 legs.
At any rate I got this clear photo of the mantis hanging out. Perhaps she is getting used to me.
