<p>A good Official First Nikon Wednesday Of Summer to everyone (or, of winter for you south-of-the-equator types!). Just about right on time, a praying mantis egg case we've been watching came to life. Best guess, about 150 mantis nymphs flooded the juniper in which we'd hidden the eggs for the unusually cold winter. Very glad to see these garden guardians survive in such numbers. The nymph below crawled out after a solid rainstorm - and we're getting a look as soon as the sun was up.<br /><br />Shot anything that finally woke up? Share!<br>

<p>A little entomological graffiti, probably the artwork of some woodboring beetles. Looks very similar to some of the spray painted tags I see on buildings around my neighborhood.<br /><br /><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17796231-md.jpg" alt="Entomological graffiti" border="0" /><br />Fuji X-A1, 55/3.5 Micro-Nikkor via Fotasy adapter.<br>

<br>

Unlike the Nikon V1, Fuji makes it easy to use older manual lenses by providing nearly the full range of auto exposure options. But the V1 is still a much more nimble snapshot camera: quicker and more sensitive AF, quicker shutter response, no perceptible LCD/EVF lag.</p>

<p>Kyle - that second shot, is that a vulture patiently circling over the rock climber? :)</p>

<p>For me this week, it's time to clean the ivory towers here at the University of Iowa...</p>
