Aye Papi. Anonymous
Looks like shes a Papilio multicaudata, two tailed swallow tail. Using what I know about praying mantis I'mma call her a she because she is fat. I took 44 shots of her and only got 3 and those aren't as sharp as they could be. Need to work on my ratio.

That's ain't a praying mantis dude.

Otherwise, cool shot. Try to get closer next time though.

lol, Well no...It isn't a mantis but female praying mantis have fatter abdomen than males a lot of insect females are larger than the males.. Not that I've seen a male, of this species, I'm just guessing. I was about 4 feet away from 'er. I tried to get right next to 'er and she flew away.

Lure 'em with false promises, then take the shot and run away.
