On an poor vis, slightly stormy day, this guy showed up out of nowhere, walking in the sand. I got three shots of him, One walking towards me, the shot I posted, and one of him walking away. He let me get close, pretending to not to be scared. He's rearing up in the shot, which was as close as I would come. I didn't want to stress him or get a face full of angry mantis. It was at Catalina.
