"Other than the distracting background, poor cropping, and less than perfect focus...are there any comments to this?" Yes... it's "preying" mantis. And even an interesting subject cannot conquer all of those flaws.

pray·ing mantis (prng) n. A green or brownish predatory insect (Mantis religiosa) that while at rest folds its front legs as if in prayer.
