Wow! I've seen this kind before, I sure love their striking military-looking patterns, but I've never seen its wingspan in perfect symmetry before! You amaze me, Junkie, I love this shot! And I never knew how brilliant its abdomen looked either!

so mantis wings look like this? I though they were the same shape as its covering.

theres over 4000 different recorded mantis species..all with different wings..colours..shapes///this is just 1 of them called "flowermantis"

Wow, what a showy creature!
If the head were a bit more in focus this shot would be perfect!

So these mantises actually try to use those wings for flight?? I can't imagine them being able to hold something so large and... intricate... for very long.
This is an amazing shot. Great work!
