An up-close look at our "pet" Praying Mantis. The kids named

him "Stick".

The grasshopper cocking his head is really cute! Also, I'd prefer the shot with the grasshopper looking into the center of the frame (i.e., crop the right hand side of the image out)

Now that's a macro!

Yes, those of us still doing film macro are definitely jealous of you digital folks... Since you have open access to this critter, I'd try more stuff with it; different backgrounds, weird angles etc.

For you guys that shoot still life, learn something, nature does not do multiple takes. You get what you can. Tell a bird to do another take, get real....
