Wow, that's INCREDIBLE. It looks like the preying mantis is posing for you, showing you its kill.

Awesome! What a wonderful shot. I bet it was exciting to see this scene. AND it turned to look at you as though to say one of two things..."Mine all mine! You can't have any of it." or..."Looky what I got!"
