On the Prowl

Caught this little guy on the underside of a leaf that was covered in

some sort of little bugs. He wouldn't do anything while I was there,

but I think he was ready to thin the "herd". I like the silhouette as

it's instantly recognizable as a praying mantis (at least to me).

An elegant and original presentation of an otherwise much photographed insect. As you correctly point out, the silhouette makes this image very appealing.

very good shot!

Beautiful silhouette of one of my favourite insectspecies!Perhaps without the dark shape in the background even better.

@Thanks for your feedback and editingwork on my hummingbird picture.It´s looking much better now.I´ll delete it and make some changes and probably re-upload later.
