For my actual birthday, my parents then surprised me with a very nice Canon camera. Eventually I hope to either pick up some extenders or a macro lens to take great mantis pictures, but the camera still kicks the butt of anything else I've ever had and so I decided to take some shots of my new little speck. I am afraid the light was fading outside for the last few, but it still does a decent job of showing of the little cutie.
Best lighting I had since it was earlier in the day.

Checking the camera out.

And a little size comparison with a penny.

And now I will finish it up with one shot of Kirby, glaring from a distance. Unfortunately he has decided my new camera is an evil monster that wants to suck out his soul. I'm probably going to have to do a lot of counter conditioning with treats before he gets over it. emotion_facepalm
