This is what nightmares are made of! It reminds me of one of those old Japanese Sci-Fi flicks from when I was a kid. Good job!
 
Havent been shooting much macro lately. I came across this TINY mantid. The flower ball he is on is about the size of my pinky nail. Mantid is about 2mm.

1/200 @ f/16 ISO 400 R1 lights for fill.

Im guessing this is the opposite sex of the previous mantid.

That spider is really nice! The only slight little niggle is that the top of the thorax is in shadow.

Agreed. He has some really cool markings on there too. :grumpy:

Unfortunately I only got the one shot though. He bolted when the strobes fired. Pic was taken in my driveway after dark. I just happened to see him as I was pulling in from work.
 
I dont think i have seen better macro till now.
Great stuff.

That's not a mantid. It's an assassin bug...more specifically an Ambush bug....more specifically a Jagged Ambush Bug. It is one of my favorite bugs. Great shots.

Ya, I just recently got the info on Bugguide. I guess I should have updated my pics too. :thumbup:
