I have to say, I would have loved this week's challenge. If I'd had some time to really work with it. But all I've got is this guy.
As I was loading bags into my vehicle on Saturday, this Praying Mantis landed on my door frame. And would not move. For five minutes. Just sat and posed for picture after picture. Not very artistic shots, but what are you going to do when a Praying Mantis lands on your door frame in the noon day sun? At least I can honestly say I've never photographed a Praying Mantis before.
I named him Zorak.
So, that's it for me. Go see what everyone else did over at Beth's.

I love praying mantises. Or is it praying manti? Heck, you did a great job with what you had to work with!! Nice captures!
That guy is pretty great though. These shots are good- esp. with his coloring... Good job!
OH.MY.GOODNESS! I love these pictures!
That's too funny. He must have really loved you car. Did you yell, 'die you orange whore!' at him? That probably would have made him move faster :)
Praying Mantis' are so cool. Nice shot!
That is a cool looking guy there!
You know perhaps he was just hopping on over to wish you lots of blessings with all his prayers. I love these little guys when they unexpectedly in our backyard.

Kind of creepy (I'm not much for bugs) but cool too! Love the name!

I love praying mantis. Especially when you find a egg pod hatching.
Very cool.
Good job, I had a butterfly do that the other day, where was my camera.
