This mantis had moved up on to the lattice work of the gate. I liked the green BG, but no way to avoid the white of the lattice.

The lattice doesn't bother me. The camoed mantis is just wicked! :toast:

Nice sharp focus & details where it counts, great head-turn connecting with the viewer.
Great portrait closeup John :wavey:

Nice work, John. Like Howard, I especially like the tilt of the head.
