Lovely shots. In English the Mantis Religiosa is the Praying Mantis.

Well this is are ebay extension tubes, a Sears M42 135mm/F2.8 and Raynox DCR-250 this combo gives me 2:1 mag, and without the tubes 1:1

The ammount of DoF well on picture number 2 and 3 is composed (focus stacking) of two images. One was focused on the left eye, and the other on the right eye..

All the others are just one image
