Description The fake-eye on the inside of a mantis' front limb. Many mantis species have this feature, used to deter predators.

This is not the same mantis as this:

but I liked the crouching tiger/hidden dragon theme

it is a great detailed picture, but can you show me the whole shot please? I canΒ΄t assign at which part of the mantis body this fake-eye is.

thank you and your invertebrates and other pictures are amasing

This is the whole shot the fake eye is on the inside of its "arms" - front limbs.
Sadly, I don't have a shot of the entire mantis.
