The price of love.....*graphic*

Caught these two mantis obviously after a mating...... nature is cruel! The female killed him after they were "done" and then proceeded to eat him....
What do you think of this shot?

Sort of like a black widow eh..?

Not a bad shot at all, though it's not apparent from what I see that she's eating him (good - not sure I want to see that!). I think a greener background would be nicer, but the screen does make them stand out better.

I have a macro, but I prefer to shoot flowers - they're nicer

I really like this shot ''allot'' I like it the way it is.

Thanks! GB1, if you look again, you will see that the males head is actually in her mouth and detached from his own body (ew!)

igredline.... Thank you!
