Sometimes, we should be happy not to be a grasshopper...

We get these all the time. Some of them are quite big! They like to hide in the bamboo out back- It's fun to watch them hunt. =)

Great composition and contrast.
I love the details you can see on the preymantis' er, arm things, and how they look so sharp etc.
One question, how did you get the plain background in this? Surely a preymantis wouldn't be in a studio or anything.

Sorry but it's an artisanal studio shot. Background is a blue folder...
