Macro Photography / A Wasp, a Praying Mantis and a Jumping Spider.

![wasp.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeBCRzYeA8uW1phYZukqUjjMKoiZfr5CVXFj6HYDKwqco/wasp.jpg)

This yellow Jacket Wasp met its unfortunate end at the hands of my dog Sulley. The bugger is lucky he didn't get stung.

I love photographing Mantids, if you get the opportunity you'll be amazed at how much interaction they give you.

Last but not least, Jumping Spiders. Like the Mantids these wonderfully playful spiders will give you bags of curisoity and unique behavior if you have the patience.

Hope you enjoyed today's dose of macro. I finally got my computer back and access to my portfolio of work.

Wasps (more alive than yours) and a jumping spider I had the pleasure to shoot. Still waiting for the mantis :)

Great post. The mantis is awesome. I have a video somewhere of a mantis catching and eating a bumblebee. Cool stuff.

Yeah sure. I used the Canon 700d, the kit lens 18-55mm reversed using a reverse ring (a Pentax 50mm reversed for the Wasp) and a Neewer Flash gun with a cereal box for a diffuser. Glad you like them.

Don't think I'd ever get that close to a wasp... even a dead one xD

So jealous of the beautiful mantis though! <3
