Hi Everyone.

I'm new to this site, I have only had two species of Mantis so far.

The Giant Asian & Egyptian Mantis.It just depends what our breeder

over here in Canada has. One of my images was focuss stacked with

five different images, I was lucky on that shoot because it stayed

still long enough to take five images at different focus points. The

other shot is a normal macro shot with limited depth of field. I have

over 300 good images of the Praying Mantis, I hate to think how many I

deleted to get that many good ones LOL. I would love to raise some from

a ootheca, But it seems that no one wants to ship them to Canada. I tried

a lot of places and I gave up after awhile. I hope everyone enjoys my images.

Welcome. Great pic. It looks like a Tenodera to me, not a giant asian.

 
Those are some great shots, but it does look like a Tenoders sinensis,(Chinese mantis). :) I guess Tenodera are giant, and Asian. They just have a different common name. :lol:
