Description

I edited this photo in two ways, which is why it's up twice. I didn't know which I liked better =P let me know which one you like better please =) the other edit: [link] please view the other shots: [link] [link]

I believe this is a male European mantid. I could be wrong though.

I was on my friend's property one incredibly hot autumn day taking photos. My boyfriend and I just remet our friend &he said he saw a praying mantis a bit before we returned. I was sad as we were about to leave and I had my camera on me with the film loaded. As we were walking to the car, he landed on a plant beside me and allowed me to take a few shots from different angles! this is the second of three shots. :sherlock: :omfg: :camera:

---------------A few facts I've found on countless sites:
Mantid is the name encompassing all praying mantis (praying mantis is a specific type of mantid). Did you know that mantids can turn their heads up to 180 degrees? Some mantids develop wings and can fly. They live for about a year. Mantids have great vision. &They are believed to be in the cockroach family.
