First time I've seen a free praying mantis since I've had my camera gear. It was on a neighbors tire and difficult to get a good angle on. I'm going back out again to get some more shots - once he moves up to the top part of the tire.

C&C welcome, i'm shooting with 50mm & Kenko tubes.

good work Lisa. Its cool how you caught the drops of dew (or water) on his head (at least I think that is what I am seeing.).

Pretty certain the "dewdrops" are it's simple eyes.
