Cabin Scene

I had a request from a man that  enters photography competitions... he raises living insects to photograph in some absolutely incredible situations.. Most recently he needed a few realistic dog for his cabin scene. Eventually the Preying Mantis was on top of the cabin as if to attack those down below. I find photography a challenge ... I am photographing little dogs that usually stay where I put them... imagine a the patience to get great pictures of a Preying Mantis.. a little side note.. any idea how many types of Mantis there are? It is incredible.. the beauty is something to see.  All I am able to show you here is my little dogs ... waiting for the action.. Husky,Samoyed and PBG are in these photos
