Monomad: Mantis Camo
I've submitted some macro photos for the #monomad challenge hosted by @monochromes.
The praying mantis almost disappears from view because its body color blends with the leaves on the dry twig where he perches.
With his perfect camouflage, it appeared that this guy was stalking his potential prey.
He looked left and right, his tall neck supporting his head while folding the jagged machete. He'd rip his prey's body to shreds with that weapon.
He is a ruthless predator, to be sure!

Great captures and what a beautiful creature.
