Hi Francisco,
it looks realy funny, like an animal in water, a little sea-monster. I like the shine of the light on this leaf, wonderful shot, thanks

Often leaves look funny, I also have one here, perhaps you like to look ?

I'm not sure whether it is a leaf or some strange creature. Anyway, the picture is good in that it intensifies that mystery for me.

Amazing example of mimicry in nature. Excellent details and light and composition. Do you know the name of this insect? I have never seen anything like that. TFS, Francisco. : )

Nunca vi. Mas a foto ficou ótima. Nitidez perfeita.
Muito bom trabalho!

Muito bonita essa foto Francisco.

Se eu não me engano esse inseto é um louva-deus. Pode-se observar as pernas dianteiras retráteis para captura de alimento. E mesmo com a cabeça um pouco tapada pela perna dianteira, observa-se que é bem característica de um louva-deus. Esses instos possuem uma camuflagem excepcional (como podemos ver nessa foto) para melhor capturar seu alimento e passar dispercebido pelos predadores.

Bela foto Chicão.

I know I would have been very scared to find this in my house too Francisco. What incredible camouflage it has, it looks so much like a dead leaf!
BRAZIL does look like a great place to live, and you are lucky to see such an insect there. It is very interesting, thank you
