This is a magazine I created since insects are a passion of mine as is photography. I really liked the corresponding communities on reddit so I thought it would be nice to have something like this for /kbin as well. Feel free to post nice images of insects, your own or ones you found online. Please try to avoid reposts though if...
An interesting little mantid-fly I spotted on a walk.
A mantid fly isn't a mantis, but it is an example of convergent evolution. They are lacewings that developed raptor claws like a mantis and some have even adopted the bodyshape and coloration of a wasp (wasp-mimic). Wild little insect.
@Quip really nice image, I'd love to find and photograph one myself one day, however they are very rare and not very diverse in my area. Hope you don't mind I reposted this with a link to your post, couldn’t figure out how to crosspost and still get a thumbnail on kbin unfortunately.
