365 Photography - Day 16
All along the bike paths of Korea, these little guys come out to chill in the sun. not the smartest move since there are massive 2 wheeled killers zooming past all the time. They are not like crickets though, the crickets jump out of the way or fly off. The Praying Mantis, however, stands its ground and will face anything that might come its way, even if it means death. means death.
This was by far the biggest one I saw and I felt I had to take some pictures of him/her and move it to somewhere safe. being a Praying Mantis the little critter did intimidate the camera, but I managed to get a few decent shots.
