You know I have always heard of things with their noses in the air but it always seems, Nikola, that your mantis's always have their "butts" in the air.

Nice image

Thanks folks.
Well you know Ken... she is very flirtatious.

They do seem to be prancing about ...like arabian horses doing the trot thing.

Thanks Doug.

She looks very elegant, doesn't she?

Ameles spallanzania I guess.

That is one interesting-looking mantis. I hope this one had a better attitude than the one I photographed.

Yep Sue, this one is very amiable and cuddly.
