Mantis

Today's Picture:



This one is a bit set up to be honest. You can't expect a brownish ambushing predator like this mantis to live on a green bush - it's "food" will spot it from a mile away - and birds will do too. As a result it wouldn't survive more than a minute outside in the wild.
It was twilight when I took the photo and adjusting the settings made it possible not to use the flash, which would've spoiled it all (as it usually does).
