Famous Empusa again.

This is an adult one.
You can also see how a baby mantis looks like here on my fingers. (There you can find a link to the topic with full body size photograph of this mantis with developed wings.)

Amazing looking mantid- like #3 best but can't help thinking it would be better rotated 90'

i like the patterns on this one, like under the arms. i agree with lordv the last one needs to be rotated and its perfect. he looks like he has jungle camo as well lol.

I would have to agree with everyone else on photo no. 3 there Nikola, that is a really great shot.

Yep Doug.

I wasn't tempted to hold her in my hands like baby one.
Another photo of this mantis (rotated 90').
