Summary
[edit]DescriptionExtremely Close Color Photograph of a Mantisfly Showing Huge Compound Insect Eyes.jpg |
English: Macrophotograph of a live unique Neuropteran in the Mantispidae family that is usually 1.5 inches in length. It flies like a lace wing or ant lion. It can mimic wasps, but hunts like a Praying Mantis using the same kind of pincer-like, grasping, powerful modifications of the front two legs. With eyes like these, the hunting comes easy. Even the larvae are carnivores, feeding on spiders and spider eggs and larvae. Very close macrophotograph of a live Mantisfly using 35mm Kodak Kodachrome 64 Color Transparency Film.
Photographed in daytime resting on vegetation. Found in the Santa Rita Mts. of Arizona, USA, August 1963. Equipment used to capture such close-ups of live insects was Asahi Pentax 35 mm film camera, with highly extended 50 mm lens using extension tubes for macrophotography, and a Strobonar Futuramic II electronic flash. Original transparency was digitized using an Epson Perfection V700. |
