Praying Mantis Female - a photo on Flickriver

Praying Mantis Female

            As I was sitting Sheltering from the sun this just crawled up the wall in front of me! Not recognising what it was at first, and being in shock at the size of this creature. I was fascinated by it's movement. Then suddenly went to grab my Camera...
The wildlife in Spain seems to love the water. All these were shot around my friends deposito. House reservoir.
All within the space of about twenty feet of each other, but at different times of the day....
The Praying Mantis I have got to say has to be one of the Most Rare creatures that I have ever photographed, although I am told they are quite common to this the Andalusian part of Spain.
