Illusionby =mydigitalmind

Photography / Macro / Nature

Did you know that the mantis' compound eye structure creates the illusion of a pupil that is always pointed in your direction? It's pretty amazing!

I believe this is my first insect shot with so much detail on the compound eyes. This is extremely close to being a 100% crop from the original.

Location: My Garden
Lens: Canon EF 70-200 F4 L IS USM
Kenko DG Auto Extension Tube Set - 20mm, 36mm
