Hello Radomir,
Nice to see a photo of yours again!
Great capture of this small species of mantid, shown very sharply against a fine BG that is OOF enough to set off the mantid but not to blurred to exclude aview of the habitat. Excellent composition on the rock.
Well done and thanks,
Ivan

Uuuuuu, coz za nieprzyjemna gadzina :-) Ostatnio troche czytalem o zwyczajach godowych modliszek i wlos sie jezy :-) Zdjecie super - glowna bohaterka w swojej popisowej pozie, bardzo ladna panorama w tle, a do tego sporo porostow na kamieniu. Podoba mi sie, pomimo ze to modliszka :-)

Ciao Radomir,
uno splendido primo piano di questa Ameles decolor.
Ho fotografato in Sicilia l'Ameles spallanzania maschio e femmina.
Nelle prossime settimane spero di inserire queste foto, per confronto con la tua specie.
Complimenti,
Marcello

Great macro! The insect certainly looks very intimidating from your low POV! Good idea.

Hi Radomir,
Very impressive capture of this mantis.
I like very much your POV and the nice pose caught.
It's dark colour helps to stand out it from the background and surroundings.
It's so good to read your notes, so precise, about this insects and the mention about its behavior.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hello Radomir,
impressive image of this amazing insect.
+++ The DOF is fabulous and blurs the BG just the right amount so that we can still see the Mantis's habitat.
The sharpness and detail is impeccable.
Very good composition and an effective low-down POV.
I like the grey tones.
--- Nothing :)
Well done,
Joe

Hi Radomir,
This formidable looking Mantis is larger than life in your remarkable macro of the insect.
Excellent sharpness and details. The coloration suggests the insect camouflages itself well in the surroundings.
TFS and also big thank you for looking at my 500th post and writing your kind words on it.
Regards.

You do not post often but when you do it is a worthy image Radomir. This one looks like some sort of desert fighting vehicle! Desert camouflage. Quite the sight. I'll bet some mercenary magazine could use it:-) Whatever it's use, it is sharp and well detailed in notes. A fine addition..

Hi Radek

Nice to see you back my friend :) I was wonderring what you were doing... I hope everything is well with you :)
Great to see this terrific macro from you. It's a species i don't remember seeing, not even in photos, and one explained well by you in your note.
It definitely looks smaller than the one i'm used to, but i can appreciate it's outstanding camouflage. It's absolutely remarkable!
The details of your capture are also great and the DOF is well chosen.
Great work!

Bravo and TFS
Horia

Hi Radomir.
What a superb scene, framing and DOF. Close-up landscape – it is fantastic. Terrific reproduction of the mantis in its classic pose and wonderfully detailed charming landscape. Bravo and my greetings.
Alexei.

WOW!! What a terrible eye-contact! It's almost intimidating. How strange and curious this Mantis, with those brown colors even in the eye. Magnificent focus with great sharpness and splendid details upon a perfectly blurred bg. Excellent POV and composition, dear friend.
Greetings

Dear Radomir,
You present here very interesting looking of this Ameles decolor. It's very impressive to me. This fella has very big eyes and interesting colours on body comparing with other Family Mantidae.
I can see very nice details and excellent composition here, with nice POV.
Well presented with your informative note as well.
TFS and best wishes,
Kevin

Hello Radomir,
an exciting document of a dangerously well camouflaged female mantis species new to me. Interesting story - I also thought of seeing a wingless larva. With females unable to fly and highways cutting a grid of barriers into that species's habitat it will have little chance to spread in the future.
What I like so much in this image is the way you show the animal imbedded in landscape.
Thank you! My best regards,
Peter

hello Radomir,
I just see that I missed some of your shots. This "femme fatale" is just marvellous and her pose explains well your title. These mantis are really amazing creatures, very fascinating indeed.
Thanks for all your interesting contributions

Hi Radomir,
I did not comment on your Mantid yet. It is another of your entomological gems. As well the species, the quality of the picture and the note are truly exceptional. Thanks for that and for your continued contribution to high quality in TN.
My best regards
