Hi Carolyn :)
EEEEEK! Shudder ~ shudder... That's a great photo! I especially love the shadow. It gives the whole photograph very nice depth. WELL DONE! :) By the way, I heard that the Praying Mantis is the state bird of Texas. LOL. I wonder if that's true. ;)

I love this shot! I've never seen a praying mantis other than in pictures. How lucky you are to have one in your yard! Nicely done!
If I were that Praying Mantis I would be beseeching that shadow not to devour me!
Fabulous photograph that holds so much depth of field.
I've never seen one of these in real-life. I think they are a very interesting insect. Good find.
