The image displays a preserved insect specimen mounted vertically against a uniform dark gray background, located in Montevideo, Uruguay. The specimen, consistent with a large mantis or similar arthropod, features a light beige to brown exoskeleton. Its raptorial forelegs are prominently raised overhead. The body is segmented, exhibiting two large, translucent hindwings extended laterally with visible venation, and two smaller forewings covering part of the thorax. Some darker, possibly degraded, organic material is present around the central abdominal region. In the bottom right foreground, a partial view of a light-colored furniture item is visible, presenting a padded top and a vertically striped wooden base. Two small, white cylindrical objects are partially visible in the bottom left foreground. No people, active movements, or interactions are present in the scene.
