Very nice. But who's MacroMike?

my boyfriend/soon to be hubby.... we do the photography stuff together... well, it started with him, now he has me addicted! I will never forget that first "why don't you find us a praying mantis to take pictures of" now its a double addiction!

Excellent pictures! I love the 3rd image down were C.pictipennis is probably focusing on that fly for a quick snack.
