Hi,

I had not seen a mantis for at least a decade, they are tricky to spot but I do spend a fair amount of time outdoors. Anyways, this past June during our winter we had a week of particularly cold weather and I found this mantis inside, it stayed inside for a few days. Shallow DOF and stronger edits were my goals for this shot, hope you like it. Common name is False Garden Mantis (Pseudomantis albofrimbiata)

Gorgeous and stunning photo with a precise focus! Love the light (especially the direction) and the yellow illuminated leaves!
