Proud Stance by ~biawak Not only that he's highly concerned about the techniques of taking photographs, but he is also very knowledgeable about his objects. We can see his love for nature through his gallery which is filled with awesome macro photos. Thanks for sharing that wonderful portrait of an Asian Boxer Mantis female. Good Job!

Description

An Asian Boxer Mantis (Theopropus elegans?) female.
New info: This may be a Creobroter gemmatus instead!
Check out the full view to see that she actually has compound eyes. The Black eye-spot is only an optical illusion. She looks as if she always has her eyes on the camera.
