Puzzle Description:

I drew this mantis based on what I remembered from my childhood. However, according to National Geographic, praying mantises grow - on average - up to six inches long. That makes this one a giant at 7 inches (measured on my screen, and adding in the bit I didn't draw). I throw myself on the mercy of the judges with regards to whether this puzzle qualifies or not. :-)

I think it should count. Nice image.

Amazing! Great work (as always). I have yet to see a poor or even mediocre puzzle at worst from you.

great image its sure in, but I don't want to be the poor male "she" will encounter... :-)

It's beautiful and, as with most bugs, to me they always appear bigger than they are, so who knows.

If it's that big, it's scary! Beautiful though, and I think it should count!

Such a lovely image. One of my favorite insects and I still get excited when I find one.

Thanks

Wonderful! And on my screen it is exactly 6 inches!

Wow - I wish I had your memory. This is really complex.

Oh, I did look at several photos as well. Otherwise I might have attached the legs in the wrong place, or something. By "memory" I only meant the size of the bug.

I'm so glad everyone likes my mantis! I've always loved them, especially the way they're so absolutely still - it's like looking for a hidden picture. One minute you're just looking at a bunch of leaves and twigs and the next minute you realize the "plant" is looking right back at you!

Very fun to solve and great pic!

Very interesting subject. Great puzzle, fun to solve.

Thanks Meg, it's been a little while since I heard that.

What's that? OH! You were talking about the mantis.

Great image and wonderful to solve. I knew what it would be about 1/3 of the way through and I was still pleased with the outcome. Solved fairly quickly for me so that was a plus as well.

LOL!

I really liked this one, it is unique when compared to others. I enjoyed completing it.

AWESOME!

This is a gorgeous image, and a lot of fun to solve. Thank you!

I really liked to solve this one!

Wonderful puzzle. I would not want to spot this creature sitting on my shoulder.
