Default First mantis
Saw this guy today. He was pretty big. About 3 inches long. Attempted a stack and evidently he was moving a little, it still looks decent, but not great.

Lovely shot- you should be able to remove the duplication halos with a clone tool in PS

Thanks, Brian. He had that slow mantis sway going. Stacking insects is definitely harder than flowers.
