Buna
O poza reusita despre calugarita, insecta mea favorita. Reusita si compozitia. Face parte de specia Empusa, nu stiu exact care, probabil Empusa pennata

Good evening Mariana,
Excellent shot of this Mantis, in a typical posture, taken with a good light and fine details. I agree with Zetu: it must be an Empusa. Cheers,
Catherine

Woooow, Mariana, you can be so happy that you saw this amazing mantis. So crazy body and the pose is fascinating. I realy understand that some people call it alien-insect.
Thanks, I love it

Buna seara Mariana,
ce aratanie !!!! Bine ca nu s-a spart lentila de la obiectiv la asemenea creatura. Asta era pentru filmul ala Avatar, parerea mea. Vorba lui Razvan, arata ca o calugarita.
Oricum ar fi si ce ar fi ca si compozitie este una exceptionala. Detalii clare si foarte bune.
O seara linistita,
Adrian

Hi Mariana,

This is amazing - unlike any Mantis I have ever seen! I love the position on the bush. The details are super sharp and the colors are deep and rich. Wonderful background and composition.

Hello Mariana,
What a strange creature! Here in Venezuela we have some similar (http://es.treknature.com/viewphotos.php?l=3&p=217314) But really I have no idea of the ID.
Undoubtedly, this mantis was captured with a great POV and a highly pleasing to the eye. Just like you we have come! good job! TFS, regards,

Hi Mariana,

A superb macro capture of a mantid in every way. This is absolutely a nymphal stage of Emphusa pennata identified by tall crest on the head.
TFS and have a nice night MF!
Cheers,

Bayram

Hello Mariana,
I'm a little bit late, but this picture looks very interesting to me. Special and pleasing composition which shows the Mantis nymph very well on a light background and in the lovely red flower surrounding. Very well seen.
Kind regards
Anne
