I love praying mantises and really appreciate this capture. The multiple reflections in the safety glass along with the horizontal lines makes for an intriguing image.

Excellent shot, Betty. I've not seen a Praying Mantis since we left CT in 1987!

They are weird creatures, but they do look cool like this. Great shot.
