Hey Alex,
I'd took a closer look and was checking the internet when I came on this site. The species that you have shot is Empusa Pennata. I found a site about this species with some pictures where it looks just like yours. Here is the link to the site. It was great fun to look it up so if you have another insect you wanna now about pleae let me know.
Hope you have all the info you need.
Gr Marc K

Este intr-adevar o calugarita, dar nu stiu exact specia. Chiar si in iarba era interesanta, dar pusa pe usefilm nu ar fi avut succes - pentru ca nu s-ar fi putut deosebi de fundal. Nu am indraznit sa pun mana pe ea, dar oricum, nu cred ca este veninoasa sau toxica. Am impins-o doar pe frunza aceea verde.
Nu stiam faza cu umbrela neagra!!!
In plus, frunza este mai verde decat in realitate, datorita PSP. 
Ok, referitor la nota! Oricum cred ca nu valoraza mai mult de nota 6 pt ca nu este originala ideea - in primul rand.
Multumesc de comentariu!

Banuiesc ca este o calugarita. In iarba era intradevar greu de observat si probabil neinteresanta de pozat. Dar ai stiut s-o pui in scena (sper ca se poate pune mana pe ea?!). Foarte amuzanta metoda de substituire a umbrelei negre.
Poza este in primul rand foarte interesanta!
De asemenea este bine gandita si foarte clara. Cred ca chiar si numai acea frunza pusa pe fundal negru ar putea fi considerata o poza buna.
Nu am sa pun deocamdata o nota ca sa iti faci o parere mai clara din notele celorlalti (mai obiective) despre valoarea pozei.

Thanks again and a hundred times again for the lovely comments you leave behind you (thanks for not using copy-paste in your messages).
I'm having hard time finding the species this individual belongs to, though...
Adding it's name will be a nice update of the details of this photo.
I'll let you know when that happens.
Cheers!

Wow, Alex, that is some unusual and interesting praying mantis! You've done a remarkable job of photographing it for us to see clearly. Excellent! And thank you for also showing his natural environment.:)

Thank you for the lovely comment and for the interest you've shown towards this picture (and all of the praying mantis all arround) :)
But, I've looked up Idolomantis Diabolica and found photos that don't resemble this one. I would be more than glad if you could provide me with more info on the webpages one can study in order to find the right species this individual belongs to.
Thank you!

Wow what a beautiful mantis. The species is Idolomantis Diabolica I think but I'm not 100% sure. The composition is perfect and what a incredible sharpness. I love praying mantis shots, to bad we don't see them so much.
Congrats with this shot.
