Budwing macro shot

[Mantis Life]

Macro shot of one of the friendliest mantids(P. affinis) I ever owned. I never needed a cage for him after L5, he would roam around and always come back to the same plant for his food and water. He never showed me his threat stance and loved to just hang on my desk and watch me illustrate.

He is so cute! And this is a great shot. I like how clearly it shows his "forehead eyes"

You guys can get these macro lens adapters on amazon that clip right onto your android or iphone. They're like 30-45 bucks for a decent one and you can get some nice shots.

This picture is HD!! If you look closely you can see the some serious details in his eye that I never quite noticed on a mantis before. Excellent work

Great pic! His eyes are so hypnotic - made my eyes well up when I stared into them. Would love to have it on a coffee mug or t-shirt.
