Howdy All,

A friend of mine let her Orchid Mantid vist with me for a photo shoot :). This little girl is only about 1/2" long.

IMAGE: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v661/dave_weldon/Misc/OrchidMantid-1.jpg

Canon 5D MIII 100L + full set of Kenko extensions. f/13, 1/60th, ISO 400 with two wireless external flash units plus simple light modifiers. Lightroom 4.2 to tweak sharpness, noise etc.
