    Great composition. Focus just right on the front part of the mantis. and I love that the flower? in the back looks almost as if it exploded. 😉

    Awesome, I love how the insect “jumps” out of the blurry background.

    I will never see an insect the same way again. Such beautiful creatures the way you capture on camera.
