Think your webhoster does not allow direct linking to the images.

Image looks underexposed, some flash to light up the subject, and a slightly slower shutter speed to light up the background a bit more would be better. Try shooting sideways and not from front if you want whole image to be in focus, because when shooting macro from an angle, you need a very small aperture f/22 - f/32 if you want to shoot and the angle you shot at, and get half of the guy in focus.

Keep shooting.

Poor mantis, can I suggest you put back the mantis where it should belong?
