Great shot! I've seen a live mantis spread its wings like this a few times. A friend of mine had a terrarium with various lizards in it. He tried to feed a mantis to the lizards, but the mantis was able to fend off the predators by standing up and spreading its wings like this - some kind of defensive mode, I guess. It worked for awhile - the mantis managed to survive in that tank for a week or so, until the hungry lizards didn't buy the "shock & awe" trick anymore!
Thanks for that interesting information.
