Lurking

A Praying Mantis lurks on a Plumeria flower in Hawaii

I had to go back a few days for my photo for Bushboy’s Last on the Card photo challenge (see more responses here). It proved to be this praying mantis lurking on a plumeria flower stem.

I love a lurker, but even more I love plumeria, Graham. Great shot, and happy 2024 to you!

  I love the plumeria this time of year, many blooms and very few leaves.

That’s quite a plump mantis in all its proportions.

  It was medium size, but the angle is not flattering!

  I had processed this and was going to run it this week, but it turned out to be my last one so ditched the other.
