Love these little fellas - I bred them once. Had about 50 babies pouncing around trying to eat each other, so I ahd to separate them ASAP! Most survived too and I gave them away to various keepers of odd critters.

Mucho congratulations on your first ribbon. This is just beautifully composed. That's actually quite rare in bug macros. And I love the way the triangle (its face) is so understaed, yet still obvious. Fine work!

Fabulous shot! This is one of only two photos I gave a 10 to. Good luck!

Funny an beautifuly detailed.

the DOF draws attention to the triangles here but i feel i wouldve iked this better if the entire critter was in focus.the body blurr is distracting to me. :o)7

Post actions
The head is the triangle? Funny creature, good shot..

Good comp, wish there was a bit more focus on the face esp the eyes but it is a good shot and a very good idea. Nine from me

I'm not a big fan of mantids, but this one is really spectacular...scary...but spectacular! ;) Wonderful details on her "alien" face! :)

Clean macro with interesting framing. This may be the only living thing with a triangular head.

Good one, like these bugs. A tad soft on the head, more DOF or different focus point would be great. 9.
