Re: Praying Mantis
Like all three of these but I think number 2 stands out to me. Different POV.
The ones I find in Ohio are most often green in color.

Re: Praying Mantis
#1 really looks like it is praying, David...look at the expression of the face and that thing underneath the chin and then that leaf he is looking at may as well contain an idol or something...#2 is so funny, it is looking down at you even to say...na..na..na..nana...bwahahahaha...got ya! #3's expression is not so far behind either...it is a begging pose of please...please...pil-lishhhhh...
Bugger if I know how you can make them pose this way for your camera but I love it...they are all story telling ones...

Re: Praying Mantis
I like these David, the way you've captured this guy gives him a sort of playful character to me.

Reminds me of the velociraptors in Jurassic Park, very cute until their fan thing opens and they spit that green venom
