Panther Beats Veiled In Fight For Mantis

[giesle]

When I started this, I imagined a mantis standing against the toy's tongue and hopefully getting a shot of my panther just nabbing it and on his way back with it, but I think this worked out better. Only 2 mantises had to die for this shoot and since he missed twice, I got a bonus 2 tries.

Another one of your EXCELLENT photos, just outstanding !

You should put together a folio of your work and offer copies for sale.

I know I would buy one.

Haha! Yep, the mantis gave his life for the greater good of photography.

Thanks. I do sell a few prints from my website. I only put a private folder up where you can buy an individual photo when somebody requests one. Too much trouble to set all of my pics up for that. I am putting together a set of tongue shots to send to a news agency and I might call it quits after this one. So I will let you know if they do well.

If I end up making enough off of them to pay for my chameleon and setup I will be happy, so no, I don't do it as a profession, but it keeps me out of trouble. Here is a link to where I got the veiled. I like the butterfly on the tongue, but the first thing I had to do was cut it off and paint the end of the tongue. http://safariltd.com/p/veiled-chameleon-incredible-creatures-figurines-267829
