Hi,

Nice shot, shame it's a little blur on the mantis and sharpened on the leaf, I didn't know the name of 'spying mantis'. I caught also a picture of one of those, right on my bag, while I was in the garden, but from what I have been able to research on it, it is an 'African Praying Mantis', or in latin Sphodromantis lineola. I wonder how they got here, but they seem quite widespread around here.

Thanks for sharing
