Beautiful pose and lighting,Devid!Volgens mij is dit Mantis religiosa.Hierodula komt niet in Zuid-Frankrijk voor en M.religiosa zelfs heel algemeen(net als hier in Spanje trouwens in mijn woonomgeving).
Groet,Jim
Devid Camerlynck  Thx, jimmy . Ik ging ervan uit dat het een Hierodula is omdat de vraag kwam om de foto te mogen gebruiken op : http://www.ongewoonongewerveld.nl/bidsprinkhanen/soorten/hierodula-membranacea/
jimmy hoffman  Is ook niet zo belangrijk,het gaat natuurlijk op de eerste plaats om je prachtige foto!

The best part of macro photography - to see what we normally never see. Excellent capture and interesting too. My best, Phyllis
