    Good un Mikrin. I snapped one of theses guys when I was in South Africa but my effort was poor compared to yours. The little guy was in the sink!

    Wow Mike – you have Mantids in your area? Or is it a captive speciment (the lichen on the rock is making me wonder).

    Beautiful picture!

  • mikrin replied

    thanks Phil… Found him in the back yard climbing on one of the trees. I see a few every year… The rock you see is actually the trees bark with moss growing on it.
