My latest model has more than two legs or my daughters science project.

My daughter's science project is one that she has to collect a variety of insects, 20 to be precise.  Imagine my surprise to see this little guy in our garden as I was checking my sprinklers. 
I documented a few photo's for her, but since it's nearly Halloween I decided to have some fun with them.

Meet our "Praying" Mantis.

This could be a post about the "strobist" part of the shoot, but I wanted to make it more about the spookiness Halloween can entail. So this next images should help.

This is an unfortunate event, both for the wasp and for my daughter.  You see now she is down another insect.

You could almost hear this guy belch with satisfaction after consuming nearly all of his prey in just under 5 minutes.  Only a wing a couple legs remained.

Hope you enjoyed our "Halloween Special"
