Another praying mantis that my friend Pam spotted at the nature area close to the garden that I visit.

Thank you in advance for your comments.

I love the title. They are so creepy, the way they just sit there waiting to devour their prey.

"Patience is a virtue" says the proverb. Nice capture of this most patient one of all insects Sandi.

Another wonderful macro, Sandi. I see a fine bokeh, inherent to a macro image. In the narrative of this one, I've explained this phenomenon.

I like to repeat it (by the above link), in order to prevent possible misunderstanding about blur versus bokeh.
Perfectly done again, my friend.

great macro. Focus on head perfect. Good framing. Blurred yellow flowers at top of frame abit distracting. Thanks for sharing.

Another excellent mantis capture Sandi - the mantis is a bit more camouflaged this time.

Super close-up, they are a strange looking insect and easy to miss when looking for them. Nice job.

I for one would not have interrupted the religious proceedings and waited for the services to end before snapping the shot. A good close up on the mantis, Sandi.
