        I have a small request...when you upload a photo and you know the name of the specie, can you please try to enter it in the title? This will it will be better findable by people and search engines. Let me know if that is ok :)

  2. Sure this is a mantis? It looks a lot like a dragonfly....
    Anyhow: wonderful details and I love the little dewdrops on its face.
