Realistic prayer mantis

That is amazing. Well done. How many hours does that take?

 

Thank you very much Dreamcaster4639, The mantis have a 24 hours work. Not counting the hours to find information, pictures and drawings made ​​by me, to make measurements and tied.

Greetings

Hi Joaquin

thats a super tying of the praying mantis. I have tied a couple over the years. They are not the easiest patterns to tie.

You did a great job my friend

Hi Mike, thank you very much for your comment. True, it is indeed a complicated pattern, especially the front legs.

Greetings my friend

That fly is awesome.

My brother is terrified of Praying Mantises.

I showed him the photos of your fly and he ran out the house screaming like a little girl.

ok now this is getting crazy. That is one of the most realistic flies I have ever seen. 2 of the pictures looked like I was actually looking at a real life praying mantis. How do you do this?
