Well if ever he snaps his claws together he can say one for me! I like the white background, as it shows off his great colours and sharp detail. Lovely image!
The mantis really stands out against the stark white background. This has to be one of the most fascinating looking insects around. (Along with dragonflies)
This shot looks to posed to me. If you are going to catch the guy and put him on your backdrop at least use a flash and get rid of the shadow. This would have been better nature rather than posed.
