Found this fella while I was trying to get some bokeh with the Helios 44-2. A macro would probably look a lot better, but I decided to take some shots anyway. He was ready to destroy me if he could. Not pleased at all with my presence in his tinny kingdom.

Good shot! I think this is a Conehead mantis (Empusa pennata)
Thanks! And yes, I think you're right. It definitely looks like one Empusa pennata.
They are very brave animals, I like that you named him a soldier 👍😉 After all, this is a very nice photo @brumest! 📷👌
They are indeed. Thanks for stopping by :)
Great photo!
Thanks.
beautiful photo
thanks
What an amazing looking specimen. Obviously it's some sort of stick insect but what kind? It has a very alien looking head. Great photo!
Thanks. It's a Praying Mantis :)
