[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Ameles spallanziana Rossi. Mantidae.

ID: Sr. Hervé ( Herve1993)

Vive en Europa Meridional y Norte de Africa. En terrenos cálidos y secos sobre plantas de porte bajo como la que veis en mi fotografía. El abdomen del macho es cilíndrico y lleva largos élitros que salen del tórax; los de la hembra están reducidos a muñones.


Desde que descubrí al insecto entre la maleza me gustaron esas tonalidades claras típicas de la zona así como de otros insectos que tenían una coloración apagada.
Por el volumen, tamaño, y forma del cuerpo, siempre me cuesta meter todo el insecto en el foco, aunque esta vez, por la pose que adoptaba, no fue tan complicado.

Ola Josep,

Macro excelente, fantástico hecho. Me encanta los colores! Me di cuenta de insectos. Camuflados tan bien es a causa de su color.
Una noche hermosa,

Bonjour Josep,
Très belle composition, avec une posture naturelle de l'insecte et une belle lumière de fin d'été. Je ne suis pas sur de la détermination : peut être une espèce du genre Ameles?
Amicalement,
Hervé
