2 die in North Louisiana during the night

[Glassman]

While many of us were sleeping, a mini crime wave swept over a small town in Louisiana. Johnny bug and a Miss. June Bug were killed. Johnny's mother said Johnny was the perfect child growing up, always went to church and did his homework but a few months ago, he started hanging out with the wrong crowd, staying up all night, etc. Johnny's mother said it's so sad to die young. The police have a suspect in custody, one David P. Mantis, who said he was sorry, he is suffering from Nikonitis, said he moved up here recently from Houston where some guy named Jim had took his picture 5,000 times, the police want to question Jim and several others. In an unrelated incident, Miss June Bug died a violent death from her husband, June's mother had warned her about Joe Spider's temper but young people believe love is stronger than hunger. Both families of the victims request donations be made to your local charity. We warn you the pictures below are of a graphic nature

Billy you weave a very tall tale...I'm sure that there are many more bugs and critters that can claim that they've been shot at by Macro Jim...you keep up with all this night shooting with that bright spotlight and there may be a few more bugs bugging out to Texas for Jim to take a shot at...great series of shots of the Mantis and it's prey...

Jim, it was really sad, It was discovered that Mr. Mantis had a split personality, before he killed his victim, he would pray for it, when asked what he prayed, he said he prayed it would taste good.

Jim, I hope you do get some Mantis shots, I have seen this Mantis twice and each time it was in the same place on the same weed, two nights in a row.
