Mantis and Leafhopper

tchuanye · 12th October 2008

Was at SBG today, and found these white and orange mantis. The small white one was about 1cm, and the orange one was about 3 cm. Not sure if they are of different maturity or different mantis altogether.

Thank you everyone for the comments!

Well, I don't really go hunting for any particular subjects, I just walk around and see if I can spot anything....movements, contrast in colours etc.

These were taken in SBG.
