Mantis On Sunflower
Oct 11, 2022 23:00:04 #
A large mantis on about a 4"+ sunflower. From across the yard, I thought it was a dried leaf of the potted bush next to the flower. Then I saw my image when I imported it.

They grow them big where you are. The mantis, that is. Good shot.
Thanks very much. Comes from eating all those midges and other bugs feeding on the vitamin & mineral enriched bird seed.

Great shot!!! The Mantis looks like a space alien and I have only seen in green. Do they all change color? Nicely done!

Thanks very much, most I have seen are shades of green, but they can change to match their habitat - it is a slow change through molting, not like the chameleon. I have never seen one, but some also can come out spotted in either the green or brown/tan color ranges.

You are welcome, and I just did a "redo" post of a different crop with both versions for comparison.
Here is the new crop done for the image as opposed to for a 11x14 print, which I had not planned on anyway.
