A green praying mantis is positioned vertically on a textured, dark reddish-brown surface, likely a wooden or metal beam, situated between two walls. To the left, a light brown brick wall with visible mortar lines is present. To the right, a lighter, off-white, textured concrete or stucco wall is visible. The mantis is oriented with its head towards the bottom of the frame and its prominent, veined green wings extending upwards. Its green forelegs are folded and visible, with a small black spot on one leg segment. Hind legs are also visible, gripping the surface. The scene is located in Uturu, Nigeria.
