Flower Mantis Beauty Shot

no way, is that real??? it looks like it’s wearing an army jacket.

I can’t believe you have captured the character of a Mantis…. has a great expression.

Frank – this is terrific. Your macro work is outstanding.

Another brilliant shot! (I bet people could come up with some great captions for this).

Hmm. My comment seems to have disappeared. I was adding a ‘caption’ which went something like this:

Think Lost in Space’s Dr Smith.
“Come closer, dear boy. Yes, that’s it, a little closer now.”

hehe, I thought this was one of yours! Another job well done! Love your insect photos

I also guessed this was one of yours! Excellent work!

Incredible marco. Perfect in every way!

Nice close up. What a cheeky looking bugger ;0)

Just stunning. The black background perfectly frames this wonderful character.
