I HAD FEED THIS CHINESE PRAYING MANTIS A LIVE CRICKET ABOUT 30 MINUTES BEFORE PHOTOGRAPHING THIS SHOT. I HAD TAKEN HIM OUT OF HIS CAGE AND BROUGHT HIM UP TO THE STUDIO TO PHOTOGRAPH. I LET HIM WALK ABOUT ON SOME WHITE ROSES THEN HE REACHED FOR ONE OF HIS LEGS AND STARTED TO CLEAN IT. I ATTACHED TWO #2 EXTENSION TUBES TO IT AND FOCUSED THE BEST I COULD OF HIM CLEANING HIS LEG RESULTING IN THIS SHOT. THEY ARE GREAT FOR THE ECO SYSTEM PREYING ON AND KILLING OTHER LIVE INSECTS THAT MAYBE HARMFUL TO ANYONE'S FRUIT OR VEGETABLE GARDENS. A MUST FOR ANY FARMER TO HAVE SOME OF THESE ON THEIR CROPS.
