A TINY MANTIS FOR @MANTISHANDS

in #photography • 7 years ago

This was difficult for sure!

As it turns out, @mantishands is not a fan of snake. Therefore, I’d thought I’d share something that they should be a little more comfortable with. This was a tiny Praying Mantis that the @little-peppers found, so I tried to enjoy a quick photo shoot with it before letting it go on our land.

JUST HOLD STILL FOR A SECOND!

This attempted proof photo above should give you a little perspective about what I was dealing with. Just look at that tiny thing hop! Not long after I placed him on the Milk Thistle, he was gone! At least I got a few quick clicks soon.

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Until next time…

    This is fun like school time show and tell ... I got one also, and it was quite a bit larger! Cut it out in photoshop (post of how it was done on my profile)

    A collection of beautiful photos of Mantis. @little-pappers are so kind not to have killed that Mantis. It probably would not have been that lucky in the hands of some kids.

    Do have a lovely weekend

      howdy papa-pepper our Texas house flies could eat that little thing! Is that the smallest creature you've ever shown and photographed?
