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.

Lens: Canon EF 70-200 F4 L IS USM

great capture! I love these little critters but have been unsuccessful in taking their pictures
I need a better macro lense than my zoom

Try extension tubes on your zoom lens - you can get great detail for less than a macro lens, but you have to be super-steady.

I'll look into them for my wide angle lens - but can you use tubes on a zoom?

Yes, and the best part is that you can get pretty close to your subject even with a zoom that starts at 70mm.
