A close-up of Lucky II, the mantis who is taking care of our summer sweet.

It's time to start thinking about getting a macro lens. All previous shots of Lucky II were taken with my kit lens. I put the telephoto on to see how much better it would turn out and this was my result. Still could be more detailed, but it's the best I can do with my equipment!

Species: Praying Mantis
Location: My Garden
Lens: Canon EFS 55-250mm F/4-5.6 IS
