Last Mantis - At the end of the fall in New Mexico these guys come out of the wood work. You can see the effects of the freezing nights on his eye. As much as I wanted to find one of these as a kid, it wasn't till I was in my mid-thirties before I saw one that wasn't part of a collection. Photographed him on my desk with a sheet of typing paper for my background then put him back out on my porch where I found him. #prayingmantis #mantis #macrophotography #insect #insectphotography
