Great shots of that Mantis Denise!!! That first one is awesome! I am very jealous of these since I have been chasing a great photo of a mantis for 2 years. They don't frequent the places I visit.
Thanks, Jayson! I have never seen one before today other than in photos so I was pretty excited! I took plenty of shots but I still have to go through them. You can count on seeing more though real soon!! Now, if I could just get a nice shot of a dragonfly!
Awesome shots, Denise. I keep resisting the urge to buy a macro lens. Maybe I shouldn't. Looks like fun.
Thanks!! I think I would part with my long lens before I would do without having a macro lens at all! I miss my Canon 100mm IS L lens but this one seems to get the job done ok! I used Kenko extension tubes on these two shots also!Quote:

Awesome Denise! Love the pose.
Denise, that last mantis shot is awesome!
I found a little spider on spider action yesterday. I only had my XTi handy at the time with no flash so not as good as I had hoped, but cool none the less.

Denise,

After looking at all the insects scrolling down, the snapdragon (?) looks almost violent. (as well as violet) :)
Cool shot.
