Submitter's name:	Donald MacDonald
Title:	Nature in the raw
Equipment used:	OM1n + Zuiko 85/2 + 7mm manual tube, handheld
Diaphragm + Shutter speed:	Exposure details not recorded
Film used:	Fuji Provia F100
Technical information:	Just a grab shot, out for a drive on Corsica.
Subject information:	Praying Mantis scoffing some sort of hoverfly, there was another hoverfly buzzing around hassling the Mantis, but all it did was shuffle a few cm without even pausing in its munching. Worst of it was that I could have set up a whole plethora of gear in the time I had, because the Mantis was completely unfazed by all the attention.

Great shot! Those Praying Mantises must be like monsters from hell if one is a small insect; yikes! :)
