Igor Siwanowicz has a collection of beautiful wild life photographs. Some of his subjects take on an almost human expression, like this sly fellow:
I particularly like “Mantis .v. Mealworm,” which begs the question “Is ignorance really bliss?”

WOW!
Good to see a talent at work. I can’t match that.
Yeah, that’s the ticket, sir or ma’am
It’s always a pleasure to hear from someone with expertise.
01 Mar 07, 2012 7:44 am Can’t quit you and the perfect love story that you and Igor have! Cheers to fiidnng your life mate. I am eternally grateful for mine. xxxxx
May i ask what you’re talking about here? Igor & I do have an amazing love story, but it has nothing to do with whoever owns this site! Does she say otherwise? Thanks! Lisa Siwanowicz
Lisa…that “life mate” comment was made by a random visitor to this blog. i have ZERO idea who this person is and why she made that comment. There is certainly nothing in my post indicating a love story ( https://shewalkssoftly.com/2008/09/22/igor-siwanowicz/#comments). In the online world, you just have to expect some crazy people. I’m sorry if this has caused you any discomfort, but I’m just as stunned as you are to see it! Please don’t worry! I’ll gladly remove it.

I wonder if that mantis does porn. Green porn that is.
Igor,
You probably know the trick to increase your depth of field in macro-photography. Put an extension tube between your lens and the camera. That way, you open up a little world and your camera acts like a gigantic microscope. The backside of an insect is in sharp focus, and so is the head.
Experiment with different lengths of extension tube and lens type until you find what suits you. You probably know this anyway, but I’m just commenting on it. I can’t find your website or email address, but I’m sure someone will pass this on to you. Your photo “Satan’s Helper” is just brilliant.
