I looked for in the Web and that phenomenon in the vertebrates denominates " heterocromía iridium" , something similar happens to this mantis but I do not believe that it is the same effect. To this I found mantis it when it was cutting to small branches of poplar buds that grew in front of a electric energy measurer, while it worked in a very very small village that is called Zenón Videla Dorna. I captured so it and I took it to house where I mounted a study in the laundry. I cut a branch of a native plant that I gathered in the field and I planted in my garden, a malvceae, Spheralcea bonariensis and like bottom a rower mine. There I made several takings that I will be raising in the future. I released soon it in the same plant of Spheralcea where it was two days and I take more photos to him; soon I did not see more it: or one flew or the birds ate…
Well I do not tire more. I hope you like it; I´m always been thankful by their commentaries

Hola Hernan,
Colors, contrast, the use of the flashlight, neat background and POV look very good.
Gracias
Un saludo,
Selen

LA MACRO!!! parece el clasico y frecuente Stagmatoptera hyaloptera-Perty- que tiene de adulto una mancha bicolor en eScarapela en el dorso sobre las alas.Efectivamente los 3 puntos brillantes como cuentas de vidrio son los ojos accesorios.En cuanto alos ojos creo se trata de un efecto de incidencia de luz con angulos diferentes e intensidad tambien.Recientemente acabo de cuidar un estuche de huevos de Mantis y nacieron como 40 minusculos pequeños que apenas logre sacar alguna toma fuera de foco y desaparecieron en mi jardincito.
saludos

A very powerful portrait of this mysterious insect. A very strong sharpness dominated the overall shot. It's one of the best mantis looks I've ever seen captured.

TFS and best wishes for the New Year!

Hola Hernan!
What a fantastic close-up and portrait of mantis! I like it very much! :) Great to see pictures like this one :)
Sharp, detailed, very colourful and optimistic :)
TFS and ALL THE BEST IN 2009 my Friend!
Radomir

I've never seen this by any insect. Very interesting. Very unique. A great contribution to TN.
Sharp and detailed.

Would have been even beter with a natural background.

have you notice the white spot on the head. This doesn't belong to a normal mantis. Was it kind of lice?
