    OMG, what a backside! It must have taken as long to bathe as all 8 eyes and all the feed on both sides.

    You know, these little spiders are adorable in their own grotesque way. Amazing close-up's to boot!

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT SPIDER! and the photography is superb! I wanted to add to this story but did not want to photo bomb Pats awesome story and pics..but she gave me permission. I too have a few pics to share here , but my critter is no friend to hunter..Ironically she too is very keen on hygiene!

    Its very important we clean our antennae

    We must also clean our front feet

    our death scythes must be pristine..

    IMGP6527 by Al Sabetta, on Flickr

    one must wash all legs

    This female mantis was my volunteer subject last year, I hope to run into her grand kids next year, I did not see her kids this past year, I really enjoy the mantids as a group. They are elegant and fierce.... anyhow Pats Pics reminded me of my time watching them. Predatory insects and arachnids are just way too cool.

    Thank you Al for your cool comments regarding Hunter

    Praying mantis are one of my favorite insects and this series is perfect for this thread. Great subject and photos Al. I rarely see Praying mantis

    Not to be a killjoy but this is a fish forum and these are jokes, right?
    Just wondering?

    Sorry Jay if you didn't enjoy the story and photos. Please note that is is posted in my homesteader and not in any of the discus related subforums.
    Wishing you well

    Dido to what Pat said...

    This is a fish forum.. however the homesteader boards are for the homesteaders to post as if it was their personal webspace. They help support the forum with their yearly subscription or help running the forum so there can be sections dedicated to fish. Without these subscriptions these members pay it would be much harder for me to keep the forum going for all of you to enjoy the fish stuff you come here for.

    There are also other sections on the board where general photography is welcome as well to make the forum more enjoyable for its members.

    Still all things considered.. most of the forum is fish related and has been for the last 20 years. Fish posts are always welcome around the forum..but hey if you get done reading all the fish posts, enjoying the photography is not a bad thing. Or .. start more fish threads and post fish stuff.
