New Camera Lens

[Engraver30]

I just got a macro lens for my cannon and I thought I would share a couple of pics of my critters.

Beautiful Tony, just beautiful!

What kind of mantis is the 5th one down?

 

[Engraver30]

It is not a mantis it is a Australian Prickly Walking Stick. I inhearated two of them a few weeks ago. They are pretty cool and the kids love them.

Thanks

What are you feeding the E. tiaratum?

Thanks everyone, I am still learning. This was the first time I used it and I have a lot to learn about taking pics up that close. I use a Cannon Powershot S2 camera that I have had for a couple of years with a 10X HD PRO MACRO LENS. Not bad for $25.00 bucks.

I am feeding the E. tiaratum wild rasberry leaves. I got it from a hortoculturist friend of mine that used him and my mantids in a display for a couple of days.
