havent uploaded in a while..so thought it was about bloody time

It was the first time I have seen this specific type of mantis and couldnt really pass up the opportunity.

Dedicated to V6...who seems to have more bugs than Mbandaka

some things I like about V6.
I miss bugs!
...but not the praying mantis I never liked them.
You don't even get snakes here..only slowworms.
LOL..the lack of bloodsucking evil danger round every corner would kill you in 2sec's.

its kinda weird that i havent seen a single snake here yet..rather disappointing.
i kinda like the mantis..there is such a great variety and discovering one i havent photographed before is actually ...erm...a real treat
