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.
