She is beautiful, all right.
Wow, wonderful photos in an obviously difficult environment.
The juggling act between correct exposure and blown highlights must have you pulling your hair out. . .

They really seem to love performing for your camera Phil.

Wow, beautiful, I've got to ask a stupid question though. Is the insect alive or is it dead and just posed?

All very superb Phil. You are the mantis master.

BTW any chance you can pop a couple of the eggs into a match box and post to me please, a few weeks prior to them hatching

Fantastic set Phil! I'm not even going to try and narrow down to a favourite. Exposure and epth of field are spot on in all. Great stuff
