Description
Well for tonights series I get to do one of my faovrite insects. I was in the backyard and saw him on a tree. I managed to get him to pose for a few shots for me,and these are what I got.
He is a Carolina Mantid(Stagmomantis carolina). He isnt very big, hes a young one, about a bit over 2 or 3 inches. I hope you enjoy.

faints If this little monster came anywhere near me I'd scream! Thanks for this excellent macro though, some of us would never see all these details without the help of brave people such as yourself. An amazing portrait =)
