    Parabéns a todas as mães.

    Don't see mantids as much as I used to. They are an interesting insect and you've captured this one beautifully.

    What a gorgeous green, and the smooth insect really stands out on the rough red brick. Nice!

    It totally worked! Great photos Stewart! I can clearly remember diving into the big piles of leaves we raked up and the smell of them burning...

    I love these guys! They look so alien! When they look at you, they appear to have some sort of intelligence. Maybe I'm the one who appears alien...
