I've been hunting praying mantis subjects and finally found a docile volunteer. Using my Panasonic DMC-FZ200 with a Canon 500D close-up attachment and Olympus strobe with large diffuser.

This is a decent close-up, captured with one of the smallest sensors: 1/2.3-inch. Well done.

I haven't seen a mantis in our yard in years, Don, and I can't imagine why.
