Ink Art Wet Mantis
I made new ink art. I decided to do mantises. I was just in a mantis mood. The first thing I photographed where the wet forms of the paintings. The paintings tend to lighten as the ink dries.

It is also funny considering that Observer probably took the bait. She must really like eating earthworms. Squids have quite the diverse diet. This is all just the funny ideas that went...
