This is a real insect predator...using a cactus "camouflage" and very pacient (24 hour in the same horizontal position, today are +- 40 cent. degrees) he catched at least a bee and a fly.

Realmente cheguei a pensar por este Louva a Deus na vertical, mas esta era a posi??o em que ele estava e assim se manteve pelos menos um dia, virado para flor do cacto e para o sol. Quis com isto mostrar a persist?ncia deste insecto que me encantou.
Um abra?o Pedro, Manuel Sousa
