This Preying Mantis is 2-3cm long as it stands in the photo.
The colours are real, no changing thereof afterwards, except jacking it up. Quite a struggle as usual, with no flash to help. Only natural light.
We had a few bright orange one's last year.

Sorry guys, I did not see this was minimal. It will be DQ'ed in good time. No "jackinig it up" or vignetting allowed of course...
Disqualification Details
Adjustments in post processing are not allowed in Minimal Editing. Photographer told us he had added color adjustments and vignetting.

Still a fantastic photo and I'm really jealous. I've never met a mantis that colour.
