During a night session photography class, a praying mantiss landed on me. It was, I think, a BIG sucker! About as long as my forefinger!
While shooting, I had the sensation of something crawling on my ankle and used my left foot to scratch it off. Then some flurry of grey, blurred movement in the dark and something is on my pants. I try to brush it off, but it wont go, fearing the worst (and I really don't have any specific in mind for worst, just, you know "the worst") I screamed a scream worthy of any horror film sound effect, jumped away from the tripod and frantically chopped my hand across the front of my leg sending the "thing" flying off.
My intrepid friend, wondering what sent me off, chased the "thing" and snapped a photo of it. It posed quite willingly for a while while we all circled around it and peered at it.
Why me? I think it might have something to do with the little bit of noodle that I spilled on my leg earlier in the evening
So, what kind of stuff have you had come flying at you refusing to let go?
