There's a spot on Falls Lake north of Raleigh, NC, that was a favorite of mine for photo ops. Once, when I was hanging out watching for wildlife, I noticed a large female mantis quite close by. She'd probably been there for a while, and my attention had been further out.
The reflection of the lakeshore and the sky provided a nice deep moody color for the silhouette, and she was cooperative enough to pose head and legs for a good outline.
