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

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...
