    *shudder* I know they are good buggies but they still scare the beejeebers out of me. When I see one outside I go the other way real fast. :eek:

    "Clearly among the best of the invertebrates."

    I don't know about that. Dungeness crab's pretty good.

    I love photographing these guys.

    Some young fella that lived in Colorado, as I recall. I loved his photos. Don't need another addictive hobby, though.

    Yeah, I remember the guy with all the mantis photos. I didn't know they came in so many shapes and sizes.
    Neat photos, Brant, thanks!
