Mantis in my brothers garden

My brother had a nice matins in his garden and he sat it down on his arm to take some pictures of this beautiful insect. These are pretty seldom insects and I was amazed seeing it. Unfortunately there was only a smartphone availabe to take some pictures. I am so happy that me and most of my family live in an area where we all have a garden and some nature around our houses. Seeing all that amazing insects and birds and other animals visiting our garden during the year is something that I really enjoy.
