Praying Mantid

i think its a good picture its clear but it should have the hole body in the picture. it also is a little freaky to me. i am doing a project on them so i was looking for some photos and i don't want to use it because its not the whole body but up close it looks really cool in this photo.

it really shows a good close picture of its face. i didn't know how the face really looked until this picture but now i do know. i think who ever took this picture did a good job but next time they should get one with the whole body. but thats just my opinion. oh and also the praying mantis looks funny in the picture like a cartoonist drew it. one more thing i can see the hairs coming off it its kind of freaky.

what an amazing photo you really captured the face! keep it up!!!
=]

wow its a good picture and i agree with what the other people said it is a great photo but next time you should get the whole body!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =) =0 oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!! and your welcome for my comment =) =} =] =0 =p

omg this is totaly awesome what else have you done? i can't wait to see more!

you suck! joking this it totaly awesome!!!! you should have more of the praying mantis.

Heres a picture for you http://www.sydneywildlifeworld.com.au/downloads/images/SWW_Praying_Mantis.jpg

its a really great picture.

I thik this photo is good because in full-body pictures you can't really see the face. It is interesting to me that the face is this large. and the eyes are amazing.

Awwwwwww How cute! PRAYING MANTIS'S R MY FAV BUGS!
I LOVE THE COLOR GREEN TOO. I ALWAYS LOVE LEARNING ABOUT THEM!
AND THE EYES R WONDERFUL! HOW DO U DO THIS P.S. IM ALMOST ELEVEN

i just felt like saying hi oh! by the way, HI!

hello its me again!

good work

i LOVE it!!!!!

talk about cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

but for ur knowledge,these cutie-pied things are cannibalistic.The
female mates with the male,and chews its head off!(sometimes)They
even eat SNAKES.serious.oh,thats a female by the way.

yet they are also very surprisingly intelligent if u train dem, they will shake hands with u!!! serious m a witness.

Awesome. Doing a speech on the P.M. so this will be a great opening shot to begin with.

I think it is a Superb picture. If he used the macro equipment he listed then I wasted my money on the Nikon D80, Flash Ring, and Nikon 105mm f/2.8. I think if the entire body was in the shot it would be just another photos of a Praying Mantis. Sweet Job Dude.

MMM love those extra three little eyes in the middle.

Imagine how many ppl are trying to take that same shot right now.

Great job
