Unusual Guest

This Praying Mantis has decided to take up residence on our front porch. Doesn't seem to mind me getting close with a macro lens :)

Great shot. The dragon fly that I posted seems to like this one limb in our backyard and seems to hang out there quite a bit. Just got to get the macro or the operator to operate correctly.
