Nice captures. Using a 90-mm macro puts you at about 6-inches Working Distance. What length of mantis? Most likely a larger female.

I would say it was about 3-3.5 inches in length.

Very nice captures. They are quite cooperative, posing for the pictures.

Love mantis shots. (Looks like she has a fungus on her left arm.)
