Spotlight: Street acquaintances II (explored)
The first ever praying mantis that I met. Right on the pavement in the city of Angers / France, so not quite the place where I'd expected to find one. While I was trying to make a sharp and not overly noisy photograph in the dark it kept moving towards the street and as it was in danger to be run over by a car or bike I gently moved it into a bit of green on the side of the pavement, right under a street light. It seemed to be rather comfortable on that flower so I got to shoot a few more portraits :)
