I heard something say: "What is that infernal thing, he's pointing at me?" Only then did I notice the visitor. I think I caught him at prayer time. He must have had dinner in his sights. He wants to be entered into the current contest. Suits me just fine.

Awesome capture, but do you think it will jump on you, he's given you the old evil eye.

Isn't that something? They can blend into color surroundings...

- Although I'm not too sure about this...

(Might be wrong, though...:P)

Nice one, Cap'n...faved...

I think this mantis won't have fear of being disturbed, because no one sees it because it wears a camouflage dress.
Good entry for the contest however. Good Luck with it OFT (Owd Fella Tick).

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

A nice capture of the mantis, TicK. Good composition and details in the photo. I'd add some contrast or reduce the brightness to deepen the shadows. Best of luck in the contest.
