stranger in a strange land
My neighbour with the stick insects happened to say that her husband also kept praying mantids. Of course I had to take a photo - unfortunately I had to take it through the side of this one's little tank and although I've tried to clean it up a bit in processing it's still not good. It's the first time I've seen a mantis in real life, I was surprised how small they are (too used to seeing them in macro photos on Flickr). Despite shooting through the acrylic tank, the detail in its tiny face is quite good if you view it large.
