yes it's amazing what some wet weather, a new toy and a seriously depleted bank account can do to a man..... I just hope the aforementioned mantis isn't praying for rain....

Hi,

I have always felt it was so spooky the way their eyes appear to have a pupil (they don't of course) when they look at you.

"Can I attack that and eat it?"

Jumping spiders also, I think you can tell when they are sizing you up. I think it is good they are tiny.

Nice photo

Cheers

Cool seems to be the most usual comment. I must say that is very impressive, well done.
