How unique to make this into a silhouette against the bright leaf. Very clever and effective. The mantis looks quite menacing in this form, as I suppose it is in reality, especially from a butterfly's point of view.

The shadows told a hunting story. Great find and unique presentation.

Fascinating image. The silhouettes of the mantis and flower make a fine composition.

This is a strong and very disturbing image that tells well what is about to happen.
Very well designed!

When I first looked at the image, I saw a witch holding a stick! Only realised it was a mantis when I saw your notes. Very interesting shot and I like it!
