A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Tenodera sinensis
this little guy was found while setting up our arbor for our pow wow.
Nice series! Praying Mantids are really cool insects, one of my favorites!
The first image was removed since it contained a human.
Welcome to the community Melanie!
We have removed the image of the mantis as it is available on many other internet sites. We can only accept photos you have taken yourself here. You are welcome to crop the other photo as Daniele has suggested so that the mantis becomes the main focus of the image. Once you have uploaded the cropped image (in edit) you will be able to delete the other 2.
Hi Melanie, and welcome to Project Noah! On Project Noah we ask that users refrain from posting pictures with people in them; we appreciate that on occasions as this one you may have a wildlife spotting that includes a person in the photograph - in this instance we ask you to crop your photograph so that the animal or other organism remains the focus of the image. Your second image is perfect! Welcome again.
