This photograph captures a Springbok Mantis (Miomantis caffra) perched delicately on a blooming wild plum branch beneath the glow of a full moon — all composed in a single frame. The scene merges natural beauty and stillness, portraying the mantis as both predator and poet of the night. Bathed in soft moonlight and framed by blossoms, it stands as a symbol of balance — fragility in bloom and strength in motion. The photograph invites reflection on the quiet interconnectedness between light, life, and the rhythms of nature.
