Thanks animaisfotos! Give a mantis a stick (or ruler) and he'll climb on it! My husband is the photographer, I'm just the one coaxing the critter to pose... p.s. There's a little sequel to this, see comments: www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2173147494403&set=a.2173129813961.2129483.1418253739&type=1&theater

Somehow the ruler makes this a very funny capture. Great. Thanks for sharing. Very beautiful.
