Nice colourful shot, Ina. Would maybe have like to see a little more of the beast? For me, these situations make it really hard to decide on which aperture to choose.

Fascinating insect. They always seem to be menacing, threatening... incredible attitude here...

Close-ups of a praying mantis always make me thankful that they are smaller than us! Nice shot, Ina! =-)
