I Bugg U

A miss but not forgotten "Favorite" Shot of my Bugg Eyed Friend.

Bugg Eyed and Beautiful is what my pet preying mantis gave me on our photo shoot. No I don't really have a preying mantis as my pet. How rude to keep such a glamours creature as this in a box. We get lucky ever year or so and a few of these guys just show up at our doorstep for a little visit. They seem to enjoy the attention.

In the Ugly or Beautiful photo essay.

Also in the story How do you pick the right image and remember where it is?.
