Don_Horhe Posted September 14, 2010 at 08:34 PM Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 at 08:34 PM I got a picture from a friend yesterday on which a praying mantis and a longhorn beetle are about to fight on a bamboo branch, which also has some calligraphy in the upper part. Most of it is fine, but there are a few characters which I can't make out. The last one looks like 凌 to me, but I'm not sure. 天牛和螳螂学 ？ 夏月 ？ 南京甘熙故居 ？？ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hofmann Posted September 15, 2010 at 04:14 AM Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 at 04:14 AM I think you are right. Looking at the seal might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
