Hola Luis,
Impresionante, extraña y bella mantis, por aqui no veo nada parecido en esta clase de insectos. Muy buena foto documental, mostrando la anatomía y patrón de coloración.
Bien el centrado.
Saludos
Hernán

What an incredible insect, Luis.
I have never seen a "decorated" mantid like this one.
I guess it makes fro good camouflage. It makes me think of the army fatigues.
Great POV, sharp details, and wonderful colors and patterns.

Hi Luis

a nice photo, but it's not Deroplatys desiccata ! Deroplatys spp are well known dryleaf mantids from SE Asia

however, it is from the flower mantis family (Hymenopodidae), I think it could be Pseudocreobotra wahlbergi

Impresionante espécimen Luis y muy bien retratado.
Como explicas en tu breve nota, el DOF es muy adecuado permitiendo un trasfondo bien difuso.
Buena agudeza y colorido, completan una interesante presentación.
No informas el tamaño de esta Mantis.
Saludos... Ricardo

Impressive specimen Luis and very well depicted.
As you explain in your brief note, DOF is very appropriate allowing a very diffuse background.
Good sharpness and coloring, they complete an interesting presentation.
You don't inform the size of this Mantis.
Greetings... Ricardo
