 Hi

I took this photo in Silgueiros - Viseu - PORTUGAL on 26th November 2006
to beautiful Empusa pennata - nymph - perhaps a female.

The mantids are very cryptic.

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
