Excellent! Splendid series!!!
Impressive serie and this last... breathless. Great details, colour and light. Al is perfect. Congratulations
These are so unlike the ones we have. The body is different in shape, the wings, and the head is also totally different. but they do have similarities and you can see they are of the same branch of the family tree. Great shot!
A very beautiful and interesting macro!!! My CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! Roby
Woooowwww, this is great photo.5+++++
This is a fascinating animal, however it's not a praying mantis. It's a Praying Lacewing. Cousin to those cute little green lacewings that love to eat aphids. The Praying Lacewing is a wonderful example of parallel evolution with its jack-knife forelegs so similar to that of a praying mantis. Another example of similar evolution is the Mantis Shrimp. A shrimp that has evolved mantis-like forelimbs for catching fish. The photograph, by the way, is beautiful.
Trés belle et étrange image.... ! Yann :)
