These are some great photos from Rob H. of a tiny mantis on the tip of a normally-sized pencil.

    Wow! Beyond cool! I’d love to see the top one as a huge poster.

    Sad to tell, immediately after those photos were taken, the mantis bit Rob’s head off and ate him. Those are the risks of close-up insect photography, but Rob was more than willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of the Revolution. Film at 11.

    I did notice that it seemed to be his first, last, and only post . . .

  4. Those were his photos of the heavy metal pencil holder Friday.  :)  I hope the manta hasn’t gotten him since then.  I like his photos.

  5. Those are amazing, thanks for posting them!
