Seems like this little guy stared at you head on. Cool.!!

Thanks for the comments, folks. Sky - yes, an unusual pose and clearly the preferred one of this critter -- at least during this session. It took a lot of persuasion to get it to look "normal", but I finally got there after moving it to a few different locations (very patient and cooperative it was, too!) -http://upload.pbase.com/fitzdocs/image/49764135

Mike - I've never seen a mantis with his 'antlers' in this position before. What a handsome guy and he's got character. An amazing shot!

I'm not scared, so funny and interesting. Well captured and love the diagonal composition. I haven't seen a mantis in years around here, they are so intriguing. Lora
