A fantastic Mantis religiosa (Praying mantis).
Good POV, sharpness, colour and composition.
Congratulations. TFS.

Hello Shahar,

You are showing an interesting mantis. Your photo shopws the animal in nice looking colors against a fine background. Good details of the body can be seen. A greated DOF should have helped showing more details. Framing larger, without cutting the legs, should have also made a better photo.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Absolutely not a praying mantis.
This is a cone head mantis. Maybe Empusa pennata. Definately Empusa.
They usualy hang upside down and are as you shown if disturbed.
This is a young one. Abdomen is straight and with wing for grown-up.
