    Praying Mantis

    Saw two in one day. Of course the day had thick cloud cover and very low light with the sun going down, so had to shoot open wide with high ISO. So not great shots.

    Cara,

    Nothing wrong with these shots. Head down to the river at irving and rockwell, you'll see many more. there's a walking path at the next street north, stay in the sun. You should be able to find a dozen in an hour.
