Mantis from a couple weeks back. Was rainy and breezy, so shot with plastic bag over lens and body.

Amazing image Allan - you really nailed the head and eyes. The Flickr link however suggests you have left this image as Private, as I got a message saying "not authorised to view".

Thank you very much! And thanks, I completely forgot about that, it's fixed now.

Cheers, Allan

Wow, that was a fast response. Viewed - and magnified - in Flickr, your photograph is even more impressive!

Nicely captured. There's a beetle here called a "dog bane beetle" (because of the plant on which it is almost always found) that has that same brilliant green reflective surface. In one photo I took of it I can see myself reflected in it's elytra.
