Title How about lunch with me?
Description
I noticed something on a twig that looked like an innocentpiece of bird dropping, but then it moved. Looking closer I found this tinyPraying Mantis, grooming himself. I took one or two shots before he moved tothe underside of the twig. I also noticed some ants running around in the same shruband waited for one to walk past the Mantis, which they did, but he never showedany interest in them as they went past. Even though I was using a flash, Ifound it difficult to get the shot I wanted. After numerous failed attempts,this ant stopped just at the right spot for a second before hurriedly continuing on his way.

The photo was turned 90 degrees, slightly cropped, resizedto 1280 and saved as a JPG.
