Interesting capture but I think it may have been better to focus on one or maybe three at most. The composition is pretty busy. I, personally, never like to see half(or parts) of anything left in an advanced editing challenge.
Advanced gives you the opportunity to polish or finish off your capture to perfection and the dpc voters demand it.
Strangely enough, my daughter and I left an ootheca (mantid egg case, something like honeycomb material which holds many mantid young) on our sideboard and it hatched out overnight. Well, there were about a hundred mini-mantids wandering around the dining room when we woke up this morning.... and we spent much of the day rounding them up and transfering them to the garden. Nice photo, by the way.
photo lacks charcter. All the brown in the photo make it look dim, and unintresting. Maybe if you could have focused on just one or two insects it could give it more charcter/emotion.
