thanks for the complitments! :)

I love the mantispid itself.
I'm intriguing why this mantispid decided to pose in that way! He remained in this state during about 2-3 minutes if I recall well. It was very interesting to follow his behaviour trying catching the insects. This is utterly fantastic insect. I hope I can know the name of species for this one. At least, to get the confirmation for genus level would be great! Thank you again.

Feel free to send opinions about the reason/s that drove this mantispid to do that position! hey... i didn?t glue anything!! :)
