hello everyone
European Dwarf Mantis ( Ameles spallanzania ) female
Italy
I tried a particulary background for this alien mantis

These are all very good, I think I like the last two the best

Was listening to a discussion about the face on Mars when I opened this. Nice work and the plant on which they are perched is interesting to.

Carlo - another brilliant capture. Fantastic depth of field for such a long subject. I don't know how you keep getting these amazing images. Loren
