I like the way the crossed grasses define this picture-nicely composed. The mantis seems to be quite adept at hanging on in several places. Interesting!

Hi

A neat find and a nice composition that I like

Regarding suggestions - in this lighting I would have opted for a flash exposure trying to gain a separation of values form the backdrop to subject appearance, or maybe a slash and grab flash approach to blur the backdrop more

But still a nice find and good job composing for this happy chappy

All the best
Matthew
