Description

A praying mantis is centered on a piece of fabric patterned with green leaves and pink flowers, viewed in an eye-level shot. The mantis, a vivid light green, shows fine details of its exoskeleton and spindly legs. The floral fabric features a repeating pattern of leafy branches with clusters of pink blossoms set against an off-white background. Lighting is bright and fairly diffused. The mantis is the primary subject.
