Budwing adult female hunting a fly

[yeatzee]

Seems we have a couple membors who are shooting video now, so I thought I'd throw an old one into the bunch. Have I posted it before?

The sun was super bright so glare filled the back LCD making accurate manual focusing nearly impossible.

Don't care if you've posted it before since I've never seen it. =P Budwings are definitely one of my favorites and I'm sure they are one of the most underrated mantis out there

Nice catch!

I just got a little budwing nymph and it's very cute. I'll post some video soon.

This is great, Yeatzee, and I don't remember you posting it before, not that it would matter if you did. Particulularly nice for a hand held shot at fairly high mag -- how modest of him to hide his mouth behind a flower! I only regret that it wasn't longer.
