I am from Canada. Never seen your ? but it is very nice. Is it big?
The sharpness is good. I should have rotated it to get a large view. Please, tell us more about it. It is a very beautifull and interesting insect, may be a bug...
Thanks for sharing, Ahmad.

Welcome to TN, This looks like a mantid of some kind.

Hi Agmad, welcome to TN.nice first post, interesting little (or large?) insect.
good compo and colours, well done!

Happy to help if I can. Paul is probably right: Mantidae order has about 1800 different species, mainly tropical ones. Head and long abdomen are very similar to the praying mantis (mantis religiosa). Wings are larger and show dots not on the praying mantis. BUT...the capturing forearms are missing (!), so this doesn't help further. I made a workshop to enhance details of your shot.
