This is an unusual specimen of Praying Mantis, Jesus.
It has mimicked the dry branch very effectively.
The picture is a prized shot you took with patience.
Great sharpness and vivid colours.
Well done and TFS.

Ciao Jesus,
spettacolare cattura di questa Mantide che sembra usale le sue lunghe zampe posteriori come dei trampoli da vera acrobata, ottima la nitidezza e bello il forte contrasto dei colori in un composizione dinamica.
Grazie e complimenti
Ciao Maurizio

Hi Jesus,

I stated at this shot in disbelief for a few moments. The pose is fantastic - I have never seen a running Mantis. In fact, this was the first summer that I have seen none at all. The legs spread with one on each leaf is amazing. Another magnificent macro with super colors and clarity. She shows up beautifully against the dark background.

Son difíciles de localizar pero una vez descubiertas son bastante dóciles. El problema viene a la hora de retratarlas en condiciones por la curiosa forma de su cuerpo ya que es difícil poner todo su cuerpo en foco. Aquí tenemos un par de especies similares. Sigo discrepando en que son feos jajaj.
Resolviste muy bien Jesús, creando un ambiente misterioso y trabajando la luz de primera.
Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi.
