Ugly Bug

I chopped of its antennae in this pic, but I don't care. In the last two weeks I've worked well over 100 hrs not including what I've taken home to do and had a house guest. I hope September brings more time for 365

With the rest of this immaculate focus on a long bug, who is looking at chopped off antennae!

Cool bug, though, and you uploaded a photo worth looking at. Hope things get better! I can relate, for certain.

Fantastic capture, Jim. Hope you have more free time!!!

Nice capture! (The full moon has passed... maybe things will settle down??)

When you do a side shot and want a great closeup, there are choices to be made......color is good.

Nice mantis -- i'm glad you chopped off his antenna with your camera, not the lawn mower! And really, Jim, mantids are not ugly -- they're beautiful.

Nice one! Love the focus & vivid greens!

Super clear capture against the bright green foliage!!You sound a bit stressed out!!

[Ann Jones]

Super creature, lovely capture! If you need to chill out, Jim, remember not to take up a photography project!! lol

I totally feel your pain Jim. And to top it off, at least for me, it becomes difficult or impossible to do the things that i find fun and relaxing. Even with shortened anntenae this is a nice capture. Here's hoping that your work lets up and you can get some downtime 365 playtime in!
