Yes I do like it dark and spooky sometimes… though I can’t even come close to watching any horror movie, I’d get nightmares all week,... enough of this sort of stuff is happening in my head already… ! Model: fetish faery (DA)
I was going through my folder of “swirls”, random apophysis renders I’ve done over the months and with a little photoshop experimenting, layers and textures…found this image “Lurking Within”. / I see a possible “Leonid” King…What do you see?
BEST VIEWED FULL SIZE! Found this scary looking dude in the center of one of my lilies last summer and thought it made for a pretty fun image. Hope you enjoy!! Image taken on July 15, 2008 with the Nikon D40x and the 60mm macro / micro Nikkor lens.
Well I won’t be going here on my hols!!
I feel like I have so many words about this image and yet I can’t seem to find them… I can say that it hit me in the gut when I finished making it! / maybe I’m just hungry? Mmmm food… / wonders off in search of food Detail /
.....and its watching you, can you see it?
I sometimes wonder what the world would like to a insect. Can you imagine, meandering through a beautiful garden, only to come across a predator such as the preying mantis? .......... GENERAL INFORMATION: Did you know? Praying mantids’ excellent eyesight allows some to see movement up to 60 feet (18 meters) away. The praying mantis is named for its prominent front legs, which are bent and held together at an angle that suggests the position of prayer. The larger group of these insects is more properly called the praying mantids. Mantis refers to the genus mantis, to which only some praying mantids belong. By any name, these fascinating insects are formidable predators. They have triangular heads poised on a long “neck,” or elongated thorax. Mantids can turn their heads 180 degrees to scan their surroundings with two large compound eyes and three other simple eyes located between them. Typically green or brown and well camouflaged on the plants among which they live, mantis lie in ambush or patiently stalk their quarry. They use their front legs to snare their prey with reflexes so quick that they are difficult to see with the naked eye. Their legs are further equipped with spikes for snaring prey and pinning it in place. Moths, crickets, grasshoppers, flies, and other insects are usually the unfortunate recipients of unwanted mantid attention. However, the insects will also eat others of their own kind. The most famous example of this is the notorious mating behavior of the adult female, who sometimes eats her mate just after—or even during—mating. Yet this behavior seems not to deter males from reproduction. Females regularly lay hundreds of eggs in a small case, and nymphs hatch looking much like tiny versions of their parents.

My first experience with a Praying Mantis. He enjoyed having his picture taken. Warner Robins GA / as is First Feature on Redbubble Aug 08 – All that is Nature Group
Daddy-Long-Legs perches in a Hibiscus leaf. Shot on Fuji Velvia slide film with extenstion tubes and a ring flash. It should be noted I’m terrified of spiders of any kind. I had forgotten I had taken this shot and when I got the slides back I scared myself silly when this one showed up in the slide viewer. I’ve got another of this guy showing a top view that I can’t even bring myself to scan.
