There are a lot of amazing insect shots in this thread. Here are a couple of shots of mine I took recently. I hope they are worthy enough to be here.

And the mantis looks so sweet and kind even if it is a ruthless predator. Canon R5 and R7, assorted Canon lenses, Sony RX100, Pentax Spotmatic F

I keep thinking that look from the Mantis is the last thing many insects ever see. Gene - My Photo Gallery ||

Please log in to see the good quality stuff. I was testing out a Manfrotto Lumimuse8 LED light on my camera when a very small "Common Bluetail" Dragonfly (Ischnura heterosticta) landed in front of me. He took off again when I raised my camera too quickly. But he returned a few moments later so I slowly reached out, taking several pictures at arm's length before he flew away again. He seemed to be as interested in me as I was of him.  Image hosted by forum (1003470) © nero_design [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.
