I love these. They are so colorful! The fifth one is my favorite.

It was nice to see you again today!

Amazing photos, I really like the great detail you got of the ocelli (seems they are not made of lots of lens like the main eyes).

Thank you CosbyArt! I'm kind of infatuated with those ocellli on mature mantids. They are so cool!
