Mr. Stick Mantis

Went over to my grandpa's old house again to do my usual hunting. While he was plucking pepper, I had some fun with Mr. Stick Mantis here. I found him on the usual areas where they like to stay; plants that have leaves the shape of curry leaves. I took some shots as usual, though it was sort of difficult to focus on the tiny insect.

It was pretty sunny, so I decided not to use flash. My first tries weren't that succesful but as the sun got out, I managed some good, clear shots.

Some of the best close-ups I got with my digital compact camera...

Soon, I left Mr. Mantis alone and left. However I found another one on the way back and quickly grabbed a shot.
