Missing Mantis, Helicon Focus – D700, 70-200 w/1.3 & 500D

Haven’t seen this male mantis that was hanging out in the azalea for about a week now. Maybe the dry weather has him hunting somewhere else??? Shot as a eight image stack and combined with Helicon Focus. Would have used more images and got more in focus but the mantis would not cooperate, kept moving just enough. 100% view of the head follows…click to view larger.
