You have portrayed them as sentient beings, well aware that they are somehow involved. At the very least very aware that you are there. The same kind of look one gets from an Osprey, and they always know that you are there. First class work, and first class use of your"magnificent equipment". And to echo Carole, thank goodness there are no six foot mantises anywhere.
