The more I look at your mantis photographs (especially at the larger setting), the more enthralled and impressed I become.  And not just by your technique with its amazing detail, but also by the individuality and perfection of each insect.  And they are perfect, aren't they?  Perfect in design and perfect in function.  If nothing else, your photographs show us the intricacy of things a lot of us never even notice on a day to day basis.

 

Something I really like about this photograph is the gradient of light and the shadows.  Really well done.

 

I do have one question.  Where do you get your mantis models?

Thank you, Jim.   Yes, they have evolved nicely.   As long as they don't gain the head size of the alien and get much bigger, we humans should still be safe.  I get asked where I get them quite often.   There's actually a secret society of mantisers.   I will email you.
