Mantis Style

Oh to be in the jungle, where photographs basically leap off branches for your attention.  This week's images come from the archives from Ecuador.  This little guy came crawling close, but didn't stay long enough for a switch to a macro lens.  So I had to do the best with what I had.  He (she?) has these wing like features, make them look like some of the nuns' habits that can be seen, lending even more credence to the term 'praying.'  Enjoy.

Focal length:  135 mm
