Undercover Mantis
      #1849546 - 09/18/07 02:45 PM Attachment (21 downloads)

Found this camoflaged Mantis on one of my wife's roses a few months ago. Unfortunately, at that time I only had my old 3Mp camera, with a not too good macro option. Would love to find him again, and take a few pics with my new camera.

Boy our Mantis looks nothing like that.

Rboe, he was sitting on top of a red rose, which sort of defeated his carefully worked out strategy.
