I may be European but I was born here




The European Mantis is a master of camouflage. The plant in the photo (Japanese stilt grass) has the almost exact shade of green as the mantis. This gives the mantis an edge on hunting it's prey. Mantis's are phenomenal stealth and ambush predators. Enjoy my photos

    How in the world did you spot that mantis? That is a great pic and you have a wonderful eye! I am happy to see another post up! Keep up the good work.
