Saw a lot of them yesterday. One female landed low and didn't move much.

These dragons are the shyest (sp?) of the dragons around my house. Luckily, I didn't spook it getting close.
Thanks for looking.

I only got one shot before it freaked out and flew off. Blew my mind how massive this thing is. It is all of 2" long and an 1" wide. That is absolutely massive for a Robber Fly. First of these I've seen in the two years I've been wondering the lands with a camera.

I see plenty of walking sticks, but a praying mantis is not as common (or easy to see) as you might think.

Hello Again
Anyone whose tried to photograph these know how much of a PITA it can be to ninja your way close enough to photograph them. This one was especially lathargic for whatever reason.
