Hallo Sabine,
Du wieder da, es freut mich sehr. Sollte etwa dieses Mantis-Weibchen in Kampfstellung und dramatischem Hintergrund irgendwie Programm sein?? Die Aufnahme ist eine Augenweide, toll das Licht dank Blitz.
Ich begreife voll die Faszination, die von den niedlichen Tierchen ausgeht. Ich habe in meiner Studentenzeit (vor 100 Jahren) welche im Treibhaus gezüchtet, als Futter dienten Bienen, da war vielleicht etwas los!
Beste Grüsse,
Dieter

Nice frontal POV, lighting and compostion make this a great macro and thanks for sharing it.

Ciao Wishnu,
spettacolare cattura nella postura classica, eccellenti POV e composizione con BG del fiore rosso e l'evidente mimetismo già assunto da questa mantide religiosa, ottimo uso del flash con resa equilibrata delle tonalità dei colori, straordinaria la definizione dei dettagli.
TFS.

Yes, the Mantis is staring back at you, Sabine. Scary, isn't it?
An excellent capture again against the red flower. The combination of green and red thrills.
You have mentioned facts on these creatures that surprise me. Thanks for an interesting note too on the ET :)!

Hello Sabine,
Very impressive macro of this Mantis, an insect I've never seen myself!! Excellent focus on those eyes, sharp details and its green colour look great against the red petals.
Many thanks and cheers, Ulla

Hi Sabine,
What a beautiful photo. The parying pose is beautifully captured. I also love where you captured it. The red flower gives great contrast with the green alien. Both lighting and details are great. You were able to create a piece of art and not only a photo of an insect.
TFS,

Hi Sabine

I am just looking back over some of your photos I have missed. This is a great portrait as your Mantis almost seems to be smiling and posing for you :)

Nice work with the flash bringing out the wonderful colours without losing the details. Excellent POV and framing
