The other day, I walked by my window and noticed a large praying mantis caught in a spider’s web. The web was full of various species and sizes of spiders, yet the smallest of them was the one attempting to feed on the mantis. Before I could grab my camera, my boyfriend decided to rescue the mantis, and place it in a bush outside of our home.
When I was able to get my camera, I took various shots of the mantis, and was quite intrigued to watch it’s head pivot as I moved around it. The mantis appeared to be contemplating me and my camera.
During the shoot, a butterfly happened to land by the bush, and I had just enough space left to get one photo. Pretty little thing! I love bugs 🙂
