Not too shabby! Kinda comical. Mantids do have personality. (Unlike some people on this forum. You know who you are!)

I hope this is a little closer than the little fly I posted. Close as I could get. I hope you like this one.

I like it, I think it would be great as an illustration in a children's book teaching them about the beautiful wildlife we have on our planet.

I think I read somewhere as a boy that some Martial Arts styles are fashioned from the Mantis.
