Description
Although the mantises are great hunters, this one was about an inch long. It was stalking its prey in the thicket of hemp. I proved too much, cause after this shot it scuttled away.

Another great image. Very elegant pose. It seems to me that this little animal tries to tell us something. Thanks for sharing.

great shot, in France they have a green color, insects are always surprising !

He looks yellow! I've never seen yellow before only green or brown....This image doesn't seem quite sharp enough....like there was a breeze or some sort of movement.

Yes, it was quite breezy. But since I'd never seen such a colour on a mantis and since the pose was great, I decided to post the picture regardless.

Looks very naughty to me, thanks for the "regardless" posting!

Just love the composition and colours. Great allover.
