Interesting macro shot and good entry for the WC. Very fine detail on the leg.

I'm always amazed at all the variety of things that people come up with to fit these weekly themes. This is a great find, Wayne . . .and perfect for the theme! Those certainly are some intimidating jagged edges on the leg of that mantis.
