Chris, this is a fantastic image verging on surrealistic. Even though it is not a Mantis, the insect bears a sharp resemblance. I find its colours and limbs really fascinating.
A super capture with a very high professional quality to it.
Thanks and regards.

Hello Christodoulos,
Absolutely gorgeous picture of this creature half Mantid, half Lacewing. I think it is a Mantisfly (Mantispidae). A very interesting creature and as usual a perfect shot. Love the earth-colors a lot.
Kind regards

Hello Christodoulos,
As this is not quite like M. syriaca, I can't give you the right ID! Pity, this deserves a name as the POV, sharpness, natural colours and BG are excellent.
Thanks and best regards,

No se si es la misma especie, pero tiene grandes parecidos con Leptomantispa pulchella; ya lo comprobarás.

Técnicamente realizada de manera excelente, con una profundidad sorprendente y una luz y colores estupendos.

Bonsoir Christodoulos,

An amazing creature and a great picture of it. Despite a relatively small aperture, you got a beautifull "Bokeh". Excellent shrapness, perfect exposure and sufficient DOF for the insect itself. Beautifull work and TFS.
