Mantis Shrimp Collection

[AussieByron]

I thought I would post a small collection of shots recently taken of a small Mantis Shrimp. This guy posed for every shot and even followed me around for some time after wanting me to take more shots.

Nikon D80 with 105mm Macro and dual Ikelite DS125's

Awesome shots and beautiful sample of what looks like peacock mantis. When I had my salt water aquarium, I was always dreading them since they would kill everything that moved in the aquarium, but I know people that have set up mantis aquariums. They are amazing creature to just sit there and watch.
