Description
Ten mantis species: European mantis, Chinese mantis, Carolina mantis, Orchid mantis, Ghost mantis, Violin mantis, Spiny flower mantis, Devil flower mantis, Empusa fasciata, Sphodromantis viridis. Colours and shapes in source-identified photographs. A thematic selection, not a ranking or field identification guide. Names follow the sources; photographs do not share a common scale. The European mantis stands on fabric; the violin mantis is a studio photograph, and the spiny flower mantis stands on artificial foliage. The orchid mantis is a close view; the devil flower mantis is a subadult female. All visuals use real photographs. Project changes: resizing without additional cropping, composition with captions and narration. Photographs retain their licenses.
