The neighbor to the Calendar garden spotted this little one at his work place, and brought it home so he could bring it to the garden. He figured it was a young one. I was at the right place at the right time that day. To me those eyes are a bit Manic looking. :) He/she started to preen, so started clicking.
This was a difficult shot because I had the 80-400mm lens on at the time, and was inside a greenhouse, so my distance for shooting was tricky.
Thank you in advance for commenting.

An 'adorable' critter in disguise, Sandi.
Feel however that its eyes are staring to me. Probably an attempt to hypnotize me, ☺ .
Perfect Manic Monday capture, my friend. Thanks for the grin.

Good find and a very nice capture with a good bokeh and good focus on the subject. The insect is hardly visible at the first glance.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
He sure is camouflaged Tigz. Outstanding and mantis prayers are with you.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Good to see him pray Tigz ;o)

Progress equals a trashed planet since mankind is too busy altering it. BTW find the classic definition of Caedes here. Enjoy yourself today (o: because you don't know what tomorrow may bring. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO? . . . VOTE INDECISION!
Pretty soon that mantis wont have a leg to stand on. Good shot Sandi. Those insects do what they do and I am thankful they are not any bigger.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Marvelous find and capture of this fellow - really like the blurred background
