Missed this one earlier, but that is a nice mantis shot!

He just has them folded under and they're kind of hidden from the
angle I was photographing him.
When he got tired of me poking the lens in his face he hopped down
from the rose bush and tried to escape by climbing a maple tree. Once
he got up about tripod level I was able to get a couple more good shots.
Here's the other one I liked:

You can see the front legs are intact.

Did the mower possibly cut off part its two front legs? They?appear
to be somewhat incomplete.

I have been so uninspired I haven't even felt like picking my camera
up for several months. I think the last photos I took were at GFM
Nature Photography Weekend.
Yesterday while I was cutting the grass, this little fellow got
dumped out when I was emptying the catcher bag. I kind of scooped him
up and dropped him on my rose bush so he would be out of the way. He
was still hanging on the rose bush when I finished my yard work, so I
went and got my camera & put my A* 100 f/2.8 macro on it.
I took about 50 frames before he got irritated and left. This is one
of the two I'm relatively happy with:

K20D, A*100 f/2.8 macro @ f/8 and I'm not going to walk back into the
other room just to see what the shutter speed was.
When I was prepping it in Bridge, I noticed I've got a hot pixel that
causes a sharp line to appear across the frame. I tried to clone it
out, but I can see I need to go back and work on it again in some
places.
