The Praying Mantis

This little creature has been living on our dining room table for a few days. We named him Jacob. It was incredible how he seemed to take interest in what I did, turning his head, allways coming towards the camera. It actually seemed to be a rather intelligent creature.

Some time ago my 18-135 lens got scratched. The front lens group was then replaced, and the scratched set was returned to me. I glued a Coqin ring to it,so I was able to screw this onto the front of my 60 mm macro lens, resulting in unreal magnification. (Obviously depth of field is a very serious problem.)
