Early morning light... by marlboromaam

Early morning light...

Fancy says good morning to ya! It's so rare for me to see her in an upright position. She's usually upside down horizontally or vertically! Couldn't get a sharp focus on her with the pokeweed in the way - made my sensors go all wonky. Still working on my little camera problem. I really think it's the battery.

Absolutely wonderful to see this dear little mantis! She does look as if she is asking a question!

The long antlers give it up, otherwise it is very difficult to shot it. Beautiful capture.

Haha! One of the challenges of focusing on bugs-on-plants! Mantids are so, um, interesting!

@samae Thank you very much, Sarah! I will eventually get it fixed or I'll just have to use my LG until I can afford a new camera.

@rhoing I found Fancy's skin she shed sometime last night on the horseweed this morning. Saving that shot for a little later.
