Uninvited Guest This little beauty made an unexpected drop by the kitchen window today and was kind enough to post for a few photographs. Wary of me getting to close this Praying Mantis followed the every move of my prime lens. Taken with the Pentax K200d, handheld with MF attached to my Sigma 70mm F/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens , tone corrected in post processing, rotated 90 degrees clockwise and cropped for aspect.

Don't Bug Me This monster was waiting for me on the window screen of our bedroom. He didn't seem to like the zoom lens on my Camera but that didn't stop from catching this shot. Taken with the Pentax K200d, handheld with MF mounted to my Sigma 70mm F/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens , no post processing other than for cropping.
