Flower Mantis

Took some shots recently of a new pet flower mantis posing on a flower.  This is a small mantis, about 10mm long at present, and grows up to a maximum of 4cm.  The shots were taken at 1x magnification on a Canon MPE-65mm lens, and light provided by my Canon MT-24ex twin flash with Stofen diffusers.

I've been taking macro photography from 2004. I use both Canon film and digital cameras.
