3 Nymphs on a wood picket

Post by PT7 » Wed May 30, 2018 5:08 pm

Definitely amateur photography for this photo.
But it was very fun to make the attempt!!

I went out to my patio to look over my potted plants this afternoon. I have one pot of Vinca flowers sitting on my small distressed wood bench. The top of the back wood pickets of this bench measure 3.5" wide X 3/4" deep. I was most surprised to see some visitors on the bench! (The first photo is of my flowers and bench, which I posted in an earlier thread. In the second photo, you will see my visitors).

You have no idea how many times I wish I had a better camera. :( To my great chagrin once again, the photo of my visitors is blurry. But at least I captured the 3 Nymphs (baby praying mantis) staring up at me from the wood picket!! :shock: You should have seen their eyes follow me around as I tried to get them to gather around for the photo shoot. There were 4 Nymphs today, but I only managed to rope three of them together! :lol: BTW, I'm guessing the size of these tiny visitors was 1/8" ------tiny, tiny, tiny was each one. Almost needed my Skinner Express peep to sight in on them.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

When those Nymphs grow up there really cool. We see them all the time in the yard in the middle of summer.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
