    this shot started last night when the P.M. emerged from her exoskeleton on the side of our glass wall. Regrettably as I saw in the morning she had left one of her legs behind. I took her off the wall and put her in the papaya tree. Which is where I got this shot. Hope she survives.

    I thought you might. I don't often get a Preying Mantis from this (or any other) angle.

    I must admit that when I rescued him I put him in a position where I could hopefully get a good shot or two.

    When I was looking at her I could see into her eyes but I wasn't able to capture the depth that I could see.

    I never saw a mantis freshly out of it's old exo, so I have no reference!
    I can not comment in things I don't know. Let's say that I am very happy

    Good one Brian, these are very photogenic guys to shoot and such characters to work with.
