Thanks Shane. Great slideshow…
So what IS that wee beastie thing? Looks kinda scary . . .
@Karl
A mantis or “praying mantis”…

I resemble that critter when I’m on my ‘bent with narrow handlebars.
Umm, bug-eyed too, if I had a big creature takin’ my picture. ;-))
Nice shot by the way.
Just a note of thanks for sharing your wonderful photos.
I enjoy them very much!
