GLASS Mantis! (pink & blue) eats

I was holding off posting this until I got the photos edited that go along with it,

but that may not be for a year at the rate I've been going.

So here it is...

You can see the chewed up fly going through its head and down the thorax. Also some yellow liquid traveling up and down.

If you really want to get a good look go full screen 1080p or just watch it bigger at YouTube.

Dude! I rarely subscribe to any YouTube channels but your stuff is so amazing, I'm a sold subscriber. Once my fiance finishes school (has a year left), I look forward to buying some nice camera/video gear and taking a crack at it.

And you do your own music too!? I was a music major in college and have done some composition on the piano. It'd be a lot of fun to scratch that itch again someday. If you're open to the idea, I might have to hire you for some mantis video/music consulting down the road.

Thanx! Yeah, hit me up when you're ready to get rolling. I'll give you some pointers.

I'm actually about to sell my old macro camcorder rig (Canon HF200 with memory card, all the diopters and filters as well as other accessories). I upgraded earlier this year to a model that is twice the cost. All my videos up until around May were with the old rig so you can get an idea of the quality. The new system was twice as much because it doubles the megapixel rating. Other than that they are equivalent. I actually have a little less zoom on the new camera. Anyway, I'm going to let go of everything for $350. PM me if you want all the details.

Same with music. I'll let you know what I use, etc.
