Praying Mantis at the Nature Center. I used a monopod with this shot. This is the female, I believe. There was a male "hitchhiking" on her back that you can see in this picture.

This spider was about 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Again, the D2H was set up on my monopod.

An odd-looking spider I found at the Nature Center. I used my trusty monopod with this shot.
