Camera Critter #67

For those who have followed my CC posts, you know I like lizards. But I also like Tenodera aridifolia, or Praying Mantids. I am always looking for them when I am out on safari...but looking doesn't always mean finding.

However, I have come across a few and I would like to introduce you to the critters as I saw them. These are to only ones I have come across during my wanderings of the high desert areas of central Oregon.

Camera Critter Sunday No. 13

If you know me at all, you know I really enjoy photographing the lizards of the area. However, there is another critter of the High Desert, and everywhere else for that matter, which makes a rather cool critter to image.

They look totally alien, and at the same time, can be very comical. They are one of the few insects I have crossed paths with which seems to looks around and at things with intelligence.

This creature is the Praying Mantis. I hope you enjoy my entry for this week's Camera Critter Meme.
