This praying mantis was hanging out on the screen on the gazebo. He was straight above my head in the shadow of the roof overhang. Holding a 300mm lens straight up really takes all my concentration to keep the camera steady. I don't have a very steady hand. I'm not sure the tripod can point the camera straight up so I didn't get it out. I hope to see this praying mantis again in a location that's easier to photograph.
