Praying Mantis

The last shot for the 5 weeks in May challenge! This chap was happily sitting in the bathroom but was not super enthusiastic about being photographed! Spent a while trying to follow him round with the camera so I'm rather pleased to get any shot at all.
Super expression. Cracked me up. Fav

Great close-up. lol It looks like he's screaming, "Ahhhhhhh!" at the sight of your camera!

@olivetreeann Ann I can tell you he was less than amused to have the camera shoved in his face! It was like he was getting ready to box as he curled his front legs in close and then fully extended them toward the camera. I felt a little sorry for the chap!
