Mantis Mania!

I don't know who took these photos (though I have my suspicions). Can anyone claim them? I must know! I want to shake his/her hand and post more of their photos.

Enjoy.

UPDATE: I must be tired. Tragerstreit pointed out that the first photo has the illustrious Igor Siwanowicz's watermark on it. I still can't speak of the rest.

    Beautiful, beautiful photos and creatures! These are my favorites on this site along with reptiles. Vultures come in a close second.

    The last two look like they're about to duke it out boxing.

    It's all thanks to this website that I get to see such awesome photos of awesome creatures that I never would've seen.
    All very cool photos of such interesting little bugs.

    My goodness... I know we're all prone to anthropomorphizing these little critters because of the eye placement on their noggins, but I think I'm in love now. Thanks for the fab pics, RW. (I'm the one who deleted the comment above - I couldn't abide the typo I accidentally left.)
