Amazing :D The background is a little noisy but nothing to be overly concerned about, color contrast all good, great definition of the subject. I have never seen a mantis of that color in a long time. Then again it has been a while since I have seen a mantis anywhere around here. They make for good subjects Nikola and you have captured this one quite well. :D
