Nice capture.

Excellent photo with great focus (stack?) It is the modern era so it may just be a casual relationship not necessarily true love...

[deetheturk]

Cheers John!

Thank's L,Paul, just a single frame, I got lucky they were on the same plane of focus I guess you could be right about the relationship but at least when he's finished she wont bite his head off unlike the Praying Mantis

Cheers David

Our rather pretty NZ praying mantis is threatened with extinction as a larger foreign one is luring our innocent male praying mantis to mate with them but before they do it eats them.... never trust a female...

Hi David,

As always your images of critters are stunning. And this one is one of my favourites for the exceptional DOF, detail, sharp focus (as always) but also for the beautiful gold tones, and the moment captured.

[deetheturk]

Thank you Binnur, yes this is true thankfully I have only had mine bitten off verbally

Who is Marie?

Anyway...great detail...but does the one at the top need to hold down the head of the one at the bottom or was he hanging for his life just in case ??? Nice timing, mate!
