Beautiful !
That is incredible mimicry!
Good job
At first glance it almost looks like a frog
Very nice!
AkashSatpathy, I did not notice the thorn.
Thanks to all for your comments!!!
Great photo series! Super mantis! Very smart the way he tucks in his front 'praying' legs so that they're covered from above by his leaf-like 'shoulders'.
WoW!! did any1 notice the thorn on the leaf ??
