Macro Moment #1
First off I need to apologize for the quality of this video! I'm not use to using a camera phone, but since the iPhone 3GS has a camera capable of video, and since I have it with me all the time, I thought I'd start documenting some of the techniques I use to photograph the critters. This morning at the lake seemed like a perfect opportunity -I just need to get better at using the video camera ;)

hi, wow, what do u mean they are sleeping? are they really asleep? dont they know u are 'swinging' the twig around? :) nice marco john~!
@ i e R: That's really how they sleep. When their metabolism slows down lactic acid builds up in their muscles, so their mandibles clamp down automatically. It's the same principle that allows a bird to sleep on a wire.
