Hi all, been out yet again today, 3/3 and must be about 300 photos taken, I`ve been waiting for these mantis to arrive and thanks to the last weeks hot weather they decided to come out,
BIG thanks to my young lady for spotting this mantis, its just a young one.
Any C&C welcome

I like those graham, though focus/blur isn't as good as some of the others I've seen you posted, but the variety of insects and how close you got to the one's that can sting, you're a better man than me for getting in that close with them!

Thanks Carl, I did get a hornet up close, well at arms length lol but it was oof too much for a post here.

And to be fair carl, i`m trying out some MF lenes that i got cheap and the 35-105 minolta macro is IMO much better than my 70-300 tammy, gonna try out the 28-75 I got and see how that fairs, may even slap the 2x on as well.

You are doing well with the old lenses... glad your having fun and good to see that you are progressing nicely.

I'm looking forward to seeing how you do with those MF lenses.
