Hi Mandie,
ha ha great shot, I guess you were right on the ground for this one! Interesting about the mantis having a 1/2 blackened face, never seen such a thing, He seems to be doing well otherwise though. Good shot, good sharp focus. TFS

Good close up of this mantis! I like the setting, like it's taking a stroll.
