I rescued this Apteromantis aptera from the dog pool. I had to use the macro lens as she was so tiny but seemed grateful for the rescue 🙏 This is a species of praying mantis which is endemic to the Iberian peninsular.
A head on shot of a tiny praying mantis holding on to a blade of grass. The praying mantis is light brown in colour. She is looking directly at the camera. She has a triangular head, her eyes are angular, two long antenna from the head. She is in the classic praying stance.
