hello finding mantis pics

[whiskeymikie]

I'm looking for pictures of exotic mantises in a threatened pose or pinned for a tattoo I'm getting. Any help would be appreciated.

Is that threatening enough for you?... LOL She is trying...

I've only ever had one mantis go into full threat display, sigh...

she sure was pretty, though!
Wild-caught Statilia nemoralis, found in a rubber plantation in Thailand haha! You don't get more exotic than that.
