Thanks for the comments. What's scary here is that the fly is quite alive and flew to the stick, but yet it had no HEAD! The Mantis did have it's lunch. -- Chris

Great shot and detail, but pretty scary to me :-)! Helen

Great capture - I love the composition, the sharp details of the fly, and the ominous-looking blur of the mantis in the background!
