Giant Asian Praying Mantis - Hierodula Membranacea


A PLEASANT guest arrived at our house Saturday, the Asian Praying Mantis is most docile really and such details in the form is captivating. Caught on my Ricoh GX 100 - Backlit to enhance and a lovely shape to captivate all. When in close proximity to one another the females may devour the male if food is scare. Be afraid of your praying mantis fellas.
See how the shapes mirror the Irving Penn portrait of Marlene Dietrich below...
Coincidence? I think not. Thank you Irving.
