I went to France for the weekend. Whilst sitting by the pool, I spotted this praying Mantis, and took a few shots with my cameraphone.

nice pictures

of a cool BUG

great pics!

reminds me of this song:

coolest bug ever.

Nice shots. What kind of camera is this?

Really great pics!

I always tried to get good pics of mantisses, bugs and other small living things but never succeeded the way you did.

maybe I will just be waiting for your pics on public and then copy them )

How did u get it to stand in the praying/Buddha position?

Cool pics, cant believe phones now have cameras...Whatever next. lol

Praying Mantises.... what do they WANT so badly?

remind me of kungfu panda hehe

What's he praying for?

there are load of this kind of mantis in my hometown..its kinda cute

thaithai123.... It was taken using my iphone

yamahacrasher...I just picked it up and placed it on the bar, and used a twig for it to climb on.

Aren't these the insects that eat the male after sex?

really cool shots ... this insect must be one of the most exotic and scary little thing in the insect world... !!

many styles of chinese kung fu have been influenced by this insect attack technique and have evolved into very spectacular and efficient martial arts.
