Feb 2010
Winner: Plant
Theme: ' Moulting/Shed Skins '. Camera: Samsung S760. A point and shoot. Unfortunately the mantid ran through the carefully placed shed skins, I had to push them together again and get the picture before he was off elsewhere. Fun and games. Slightly cheating picture as I have a lot of these at different stages so I went through the bottom of the containers picking out shed skins.
