Before we begin -- this is my camera, a Canon Powershot A300 -- Its simple, a few years old now (hence the archive status at the official website), and seems to amaze people at the quality of pictures I can get from it. Zoom doesn't work at all, and in fact distorts the pictures, so these are all clear shot photos, or taken with the macro, which is my favorite, because it rules.
Selected Photos -- Here for either quality, content, or story attached.
Please don't steal/borrow/use/modify etc, it makes the gremlins cry.

» Mantis Project: Summer 2008 there was an abundance of praying mantids in the grasses of the field behind my house. I've never seen so many before! I got so many photos that they didn't seem to fit with the rest of the photos here anymore - I thought they might outnumber them! That and not everyone may be as thrilled about these insects as I am. Then in the fall I found the first mantis egg case (also known as ootheca)! As I'm writing this my parents and I have collected a combined total of 9.5 such cases (more as I post this). Each one could hatch into 50-200 or so baby mantids! If they weren't eaten or crushed first - most of these we found knocked off onto the snow in the middle of the trails, some clearly bird pecked too. So the mantis project may end up documenting what happens this spring when I re-release them into the wild. Or something. :3
» Mystery Critters: Even with the help of the Whats That Bug archives I'm still clueless as to what these creatures might be. Do you know? So far I've got a weird blue ant beetle-y thing and a crazy tiny worm thing. They're both very odd and I'd love to know what they were.
And then there's the demon-ants. *shudders*
