Definitely a wild hibiscus, probably Hibiscus moscheutos (swamp
rose-mallow).

They look quite similar have probably been domesticated, hybridised
spread around by horticulturalists. I picked the swamp variety because Jack
found it on the edge of a dam. There are so many varieties to be found
worldwide:

Neat set Dan! That is quite a treat (for you and for the mantis, it looks like).
This one is my fav: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18052847
It almost shows personality. I love Praying Mantis but am quite glad that these
creatures aren't 10 times larger than they are.

Interesting observation. I dug into it a bit, and it seems like it is
connected to the sharing buttons at the bottom of the page. The code behind
them requests data from the respective social networks. I assume that it
will hum on idle for a while if not logged in to any of them.
Thanks, Darren!
Yes, the Mantis did seem to have a personality. I suspect that he
landed on the table because of the flower pattern of the table cloth,
but it didn't seem to confuse him to much. He moved rather slowly and

You may not be able to print things with ideal color balance and

certainly make art with it.

Due to the distance, I feel converting this to an 8 by 10 would compromise
the image quality.
IOW, I really feel it is about the limit of acceptable resolution.
