I never used it to make a living but went into sales including working for Olympus Camera in the '80s. I just love the craft and sharing some of the things I've seen.

I'm not all that fond of wasps except for use as models. I'm allergic and wasn't very gentle in immobilizing him, putting my safety first.

All the others were catch and release.

The Mantis and I got along famously. He hung around for an hour or so, posing and riding around on my left hand.
