Description
I went in the greenhouse today and walked in on her having lunch. She was sitting on a white cardboard box. I know this is kind of gross but I just had to get some photos of this. It's something you don't see too often.
Thanks for all your wonderful comments
on my last upload,
"Mantis Update - Turns out he's a SHE!!!"
Many thanks,

Many want to go back to nature, but few are prepared to accept the bloody fangs and nails that come with it. Great pic!

Oh yes,welcome to the club,lol. Its always a great shot to catch nature at its finest, in the midst of the strugle for life and death. Trust me I have worse stored away,and had to use toned down shots before,this isnt that bad. A mantid can make a real mess when eating and finding an angle that lets you get the shot,while not being to gross is a great thing to do. You did a wonderful job on this shot, so close to the action,but not to close to show to much. Excellent capture and job for sure.
