WOAH! You got these bugs eating out of your hand! They must really like you! I love the 'expression' on her face as she is eating. Looks like Katy "didn't".

It took a bug out of your hand?! Oh my goodness those bugs always bewilder me... Because I live in an area large bugs normally don't I am always so shocked. It's a beautiful macro shot, I have been studying macros a bit in school and I'd love to give them a shot.
Biggest bug I ever saw was an enormous water beetle that somehow managed to get into the Home Hardware parking lot. My boyfriend and I promptly caught it and took it to a bug expert. Later on my boyfriend saw one eat a minnow in the water!!

Yep she took that katydid alright out of the hand , smart mantis

I was so stunned I thought it was a fake bug! Apparently it could have given us a nasty pinching. It being a small town and all I had several people stop by to see what I was staring at so intently!
