Oh what a fabulous set of shots. I never tire of seeing mantis shots, such cute insects (we dont have them in the UK).

You have captured it with some fantastic poses - you obviously found one that is a poser lol.

Lovely to see these, thanks for posting them :D

Brilliant shots.

They almost resemble a model shot series. That mantis was a serious poser.
Hope the hourly rates were reasonable.

Super shots Bryce, shame the dirty sensor lets down the finished article. It's fine on the dark backgrounds but, spoils the lighter background shots.

Yes you are right but i have newer version of those shots now where i have removed the dust and darken it up a little making the color stand out better!

These guys are such posers. Too bad they are so rare here in northern Illinois. Great shots. I love the one where he’s tilting his head giving you some side-eye. ;)

Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Nice set of shots. Except I think it's officially called a "praying mantis" although it does prey too. :)

I think it must be a female, and she definitely likes you SMB. :)
Great set.
