Good capture, these guys can camouflage themselves very good.

Our mantis tend to be brown. Probably to blend in with the sun-fried dead vegetation in summer. Beautiful image.

What a great green pose! Amazing that you got this close with the 50mm.

Thank you everyone ..

Sigma 50mm is 1:1 Macro + Ricoh 2x tele Macro , making the lens 100mm with much better than 1:1 macro ( could be 2:1 ) or even more ..
