Photograph Description
I never expected to discover a Praying Mantis in my rose garden. She seemed just as curious about and surprised by me as I was by her. (The NYTimes /Science Section had recently run an article about these creatures insatiable appetites, with females typically devouring their mates.) Photo taken with Sony ILCE 7MII, Macro Lens (50mm), ISO 100, 1/500 sec., f/5.6
