Photographer Captures Amusing Pics Of Stunning Mantises, And Here Are 30 Of The Best Ones

"I got into wildlife photography out of curiosity," Way told Bored Panda. "It's something I have been interested in since I was a child."

"Mantises are my favorite insects. For me, mantises are the perfect models for macro photography."

Way started taking photos of mantises in 2013. Now, he has photographed over 100 species of them and has vowed to continue looking for more.

The photographer said one needs both luck and skill to take a good mantis photo. However, Way welcomes the challenge. "Mantises may look aggressive but actually they are very gentle and they all look like a professional models."
