An old mantis greets a new moon,
thorny demon reflecting on past crimes.

Hi Rick, great atmosphere as ‘usual’:)! Wow. What is the light source at the back? Did you use a separate light source from the left? That and in macro, unbelievable. Well done, again.

This is so cool – I love how you added artificial light to properly expose this sneaky mantis (or am I seeing another mantis here?). Very well done!
