[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yesterday this huge lady mantis was having a rest on my office balcony. May be she had just eaten her previous husband and apprently was looking for a new one. But anyway that's her private affair, I just asked her to stand still for awhile (but not too close!)

Privet! She does look humongous and seems to be preoccupied with a search of the next victim.

I wouldn't want to run into her under any circumstances. :)

Amazing silhouette. Great macro shot. You were lucky to see this lady so close to you. Lovely shot.

Praying Mantis
From whence arrived the praying mantis?
From outer space, or lost Atlantis?
I glimpse the grim, green metal mug
That masks this pseudo-saintly bug,
Orthopterous, also carnivorous,
And faintly whisper, Lord deliver us.

—Ogden Nash, from Custard and Company

Your shot illustrates Nash's poem nicely! Tfs, Jay
