Artist's notes:
 I
love the praying mantis. I've only encountered a few in
the wild, but each time it has been memorable. This drawing,
as some may realize, is based upon a fairly well-known photo.
Generally I try to avoid this but as the image is pretty
strong I have no immediate plans to re-create it.

Information about the Praying Mantis:
Praying Mantis grow to be about 3 inches with a large
head and abdomen. They have a pair of large forelegs that
are serrated and spiny and folded back like a pocket knife.
They hold their forelegs up in a praying position to grab
prey. Adult males are smaller and more slender than females,
and have longer wings. Praying mantids are highly predacious
and feed on a variety of insects. They are the only insect
that can turn it's head.
