Mantis nymph (Empusa pennata)

I found this alien looking Mantis nymph while on hols in the Canaries recently. 

They are hard to spot initially but once you have seen one you notice they are a different colour to the light coloured brush. 

They try to make a getaway but are quite clumsey at which point 

they stay motionless and blend in more with the background. A joy to see and nice when you get a good shot of them. Enjoy.
