I made this image during the summer of 2006. It always struck me as kind of a funny pose for a Praying Mantis. Kind of reminded me of a joke teller in a bar.

1DMK2 with 100-400 @ 390. Evaluative metering at ISO 100 with f 5.6 and 1/125 on tripod with EV zero. Cropped from top a bit. A few seconds after this image was made he flew away.

Thanks for looking. All comments most welcome.

I like the pose and the nice soft light.

Is that an eyespot on the upper arm?

Robert, I believe it is an eye spot. It's the one he uses to check out the female Mantis' at the bar LOL
