It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before
All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

Thanks to this mantis who rested on my doorstep this afternoon.
I still have a second shot but of a different composition of this mantis which I maybe uploading soon... lol
A portrait of my Ghost Mantis nymph. These guys are native to Africa but this one was captive bred and photographed in Maryland. It's body is probable about 2 to 3mm long.

Con esta fotografía acabo con la historia de la polilla y la mantis.
Tengo muchas más fotografías del vuelo ,caza y comida pero con estas creo que se pueden imaginar toda la historia.
Lo que es bueno para uno es malo para el otro
Mantis religiosa, comúnmente llamada santateresa, o simplemente mantis, es una especie de insecto mantodeo de la familia Mantidae. Tiene una amplia distribución geográfica en todo el Viejo Mundo (Eurasia y África), con numerosas subespecies según las regiones. Fue introducida en Norteamérica en 1899
European praying mantises reproduce only once in their lifetime, and all adults die before winter, while the offspring overwinter in the embryonic stage in the egg.[
The European praying mantis practices sexual cannibalism, meaning that in the wild (in up to 30 percent of cases) the male is eaten by the female during or after mating.
************************************************
" Gottesanbeterin - Blickkontakt "
Europäische Gottesanbeterinnen pflanzen sich nur einmal im Leben fort, und alle erwachsenen Tiere sterben vor dem Winter, während der Nachwuchs im Embryonalstadium im Ei überwintert.[
Die europäische Gottesanbeterin praktiziert sexuellen Kannibalismus, d. h. das Männchen wird in freier Wildbahn (in bis zu 30 Prozent der Fälle) während oder nach der Paarung vom Weibchen aufgefressen.
(Mantis religiosa)
A juvenile Mantis religiosa found in a beautiful August morning. Working with this cool species is challenging but so rewarding!
There will be more images of this specimen in the near future.
32 natural light exposures at ISO 100 made with Sony A7, Kiron 105mm f/2.8 1:1 Macro lens.
Mantis live in continental Europe but not in the British Isles. We found them in the garden in Oxfordshire. They are probably escaped from someone that was keeping them as pet.

The Thistle Mantis (Blepharopsis mendica)—a delicate predator cloaked in beauty. Native to North Africa and the Canary Islands, it blends perfectly with dry thistles, its patterned body mimicking flowers with uncanny precision. A living masterpiece of camouflage and form.
