Wow, Roz - this macro is incredible. The detail and DOF are outstanding. Not to mention the pose you captured. You must have a super steady hand and a lot of patience. Congrats on your great placement. OX

Eeek! Amazing detail, love all the green and lines of the bug leading to his head. Almost not so bad to see them like this versus in person!

Oh I love these photos. A mantis, right? This guy looks more like a goofball than normal freaky looking insects. Good capture
