Description
This mantis was attracted to the light trap we set up a few weeks ago, but it stayed in some nearby bushes. It stayed still enough to let me snap a few nice shots.Related content

I used the Canon 100mm USM macro. The rest of the EXIF info is to the right.

this clearly illustrates why these are my fav insects...they always look so intelligent and have this expression of suspicion on their face. XD

Wow. I adore that expression he has! He looks ready to plot some real mischief! I like that turquoise stripe across its mandible.
You sure know how to work a camera. Excellent photography.
