Evil Ways Of Practice May Surround You,
Callin' On Your Inner Core Of Life.
But Your Father Was Just A Complex Man Of Business,
And Your Mother Merely Portioned Out Your Fright.
You're Gonna Run The Risk Of A Sudden Loss,
You Got No Mama To Bear Your Cross Beside You.
Uh-Huh, Uh-Huh.
As Midnight Angels Shine Their Wings
And Time Begins Just To Build A Wall All Around You.
Nobody, Nobody Gonna Take My Love Away From Me.
European Praying Mantis | Mantis religiosa | 08-2022 | Ticino | Switzerland

ABOUT THE PHOTO:
I originally titled the image above 'Pray, Love, Eat (Your Husband)' as a joking reference to a bestselling novel and to the name of the insect depicted in the photo as well as to the species' well-documented gruesome mating behavior. I changed it now, because I wanted to be sure nobody would take the title as a recommendation (let me be very clear: if you are in fact NOT a female praying mantis, please refrain from eating your husband - regardless how tempted you may be - I'm sure he will thank you later 😉).
To provide a bit of context how I got the shot, as most of you will be well aware, this past summer was rather hot in many parts of the world, and Ticino in Switzerland (where I take all my photos), was no exception. It was in fact exceptionally hot for a long period without any rain in sight, and so I found myself getting up every morning before sunrise to water the garden.
On one such occasion in late August I noticed the frantic movement of a rather large insect that was trying to get away from the splashing water drops. I immediately put the hose down and went to investigate. I could hardly believe my luck: it was a (in Switzerland very rare) European mantis, a species I hadn't seen in a long time in my garden (certainly not since my dear mother's ill-fated attempt to transform part of the garden into a "flowery meadow" - a sad anecdote you can read all about here IF you have the stomach for it: www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/52177556047/in/datepo... )
The mantis had sought shelter from the water between the blooming phlox and was now resting completely motionless among the flower petals, and so I dropped everything and ran for my camera. Once I was back at the scene I realized to my horror that it was still far too dark to get a usable photo; I was sure my "rare prize" would fly away at any instant, but all I could do now was anxiously wait for the sun to come up.
Minute after agonizing minute went by (and Mrs Mantis made suspicious "I-think-I'm-going-to-leave-now" movements several times that had me hold my breath in utter terror), but finally my camera was satisfied with the available light, and once I had shot about 800 photos, I started to relax a little.
In the end, I couldn't have been happier; it had long been my hope that my little oasis of botanic chaos would attract this rare species, and that I even got to photograph it was a dream come true. And apparently I needn't have worried about it flying away; it was a female, and as I later read mantis ladies are in most cases too heavy to fly.
And they seem to be territorial (or at least this one was); to my delight, I would find Mrs Mantis either in the phlox plants or on the nearby hibiscus every day for the remainder of my holiday (here's a photo on the hibiscus: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/western-green-lizard-lacerta-bi... ), and so I got to photograph her plenty (suspiciouly there was never any sign of a Mr Mantis though...).
Anyway, many greetings and have a lovely weekend ahead everyone - and as always, let me know what you think in the comments 😊
Taken at the beautiful Corruption ♥
I don't know where I belong
No I don't know
But I've been hanging on
For too long
'Cause no one really knows me, at all
I've been spending time
'Cause time's on my side
And if I make it home
When our worlds collide
'Cause no one really knows me, at all
I don't know where I belong
No I don't know
But I've been hanging on
For too long
'Cause no one really knows me, at all
So help me find my way
The way I came from
'Cause I'm feeling lost and afraid
You better not be too far gone
Oh, have I been so wrong
Missed the song
Still I don't know where I belong
No I don't know
Because no one really knows me, at all
Yeah, no one really knows me, at all

Hi all !!
I present to you my new bad boy born in cyber. Painful, limitless, his story is yet to be written ... This time, I just wanted to recreate a movement. I took as much inspiration from my lord's work for the picture.. And with the song for the story ! I hope you like it.
Story : "I'm not your monkey
I'm not your puppet
I'm just a fleabag
Nobody loves me at all"
Thanks for watching and your support !! ♡
The music : 🎵.

I've been fed gold by sweet fools in Abu Dhabi
And I've danced real slow, the Rockettes on dodgy molly
But I've had no love like your love
I'm nobody
I'd be appalled if I saw you ever try to be a saint
I wouldn't fall for someone I thought couldn't misbehave
But I want you to know that I've had no love like your love
