Femme Fatale : Macro Headshots Series - 4
Femme Fatale is a character archetype often seen in Film Noir, but has been popular throughout history. It is also a wonderfully apt monicker for the mantis, who often eats her mate even in the midst of mating.

I don't think I'm going to limit myself to one post for each species this time as I did for most of the Little Monsters Series; if the portrait is different and interesting enough and I want to share it:
Little Monsters - 39 - Jumping Spider IV the full list of the Little Monsters posts is at the end!
Only one "feeler" 🙁
Don't feel bad, there's two! :)
It's nearly invisible because it is pointed straight at the camera!
Ah!! I see it now - I missed that 😉
It look dangerous :-).
Very, particularly if you want to date her!

Simply fantastic shot! It seems that the mate's head is on her head 😬
my full upvote! Thank you!

Looks like a piece of Egyptian jewellery, like a brooch pin made of fine metal.
Indeed the scarab is sacred in Egyptian mythology and was used in just such a manner.
Yes, that would be a fine piece to wear. tip!
