Dancing Performances of Insects

Have you ever seen any dancing performance of a praying mantis with his friends in the real word? If there is no chance for you to observe exciting moments of these insects, let\'s take a look at pictures of the biochemist and photographer Igor Siwanowicz, who spent the last seven years carefully breeding as well as capturing stunning images of his alien subjects. The 34-year-old often chooses favorite models like praying mantes, reptiles and amphibians for his images. He shared that animals were so unpredictable and uncooperative that they couldnot be forced into collaboration.
