ID: Bark mantis/ Praying bark mantis
Attempted some unique frames with the bark mantis, which probably due to early morning, seemed too slow and rather kept itself almost flat onto the tree, which made it difficult to spot it on first sight. It almost went unnoticed by my colleague while he was looking out for some tiny, interesting subjects
Though at first it hardly was bothered by the close proximity of the lens and flash, later, may be due to the sun's light falling over, it started being more active and less squatted onto the tree trunk.
EXIF:
Canon 550D
Canon 100mm macro + Raynox
F/14
Shutterspeed 1/125
ISO 100
Handheld, external flash remotely fired
Location; Nagla trail, Mumbai, India
