Alex,
I think I have mentioned to you that I have had a mantis in my reef for about a year. I wouldn't mind you coming over to get some practice. He isn't the easiest to find, as he has lots of area to hide, but your welcome to try sometime.
Pm me if interested.
Thanks,
Donovan

Alex, are those pics with a macro lens or the standard lens?

 

[alexchern75]

they are older pictures with my canon a-85 with and adapter thingy and close up lenses (diopters) its not a real lens but more like a magnifying glass. the make them for most cameras as long as the camera gives you munting options. I even got a set for my new DSLR.
This is what those close up things look like:

you just have to get the correct set for your camera
