Very nice indeed.

Have you just but the mantis out and pasted onto another layer with black fill?

No, I didn`t cut it out. When I was taking shots of it, it was early evening, and the flash illuminated only the mantis but the background remained dark. Thats why the bg is black.

Thanks,

Fabulous shot! Great colour, sharpness and detail - and of course not forgetting the great pose :-)

I haven't seen one of these since I went DSLR (2yrs)
I've been watching but don't see em very often.
Your shot is GREAT!!
I hope to do as good IF I'm lucky to find one of these.
