Entomoscelis americana. Chrysomelidae. University of Michigan Biological Station, Cheboygan County, MI.
Reddish small mantis seemed interested in being photographed even though we are very noisy around it that it could scurry away any time (but it did not).
From Mantodea order of insects (Mantidae family). This one is a typical praying mantis with its usual "prayer" like stance. If you look closely, the eys of mantises look like they have pupils (but according to wiki, they just have compound eyes).
I always thought these particular dragonflies were hard to photograph until I browsed through my photos and found many photos of them.
I came across this little insect on a thistle as the sun was going down and just managed to get a few shots. Would love to have spent more time on it but it disappeared into the undergrowth.

This was one of the most photogenic bugs I have ever taken pictures of I didn't move much it posed allowed me to compose this shot. I did thank it when I was done. Corrected ID 5/12/2012
