MANTIS

There is something distinctly sinister about mantises ... er, mantii?

Here's a fellah I met as I made my breakfast cuppa and who seemed quite taken with the tea strainer.
He seemed an amiable enough cove so I grabbed the camera and started snapping him in close-up mode.

Soon as I shoved the lens in his face, he looked up and gave me THE most dirty scowl.
Look at the bastard - if that isn't venomous eye-contact I don't know what.

Lord of the Nitekrüe would know all about this lot ...
