Orchid Mantis on White Flower Before Dawn

by Aiden Everett

Pale pink orchid mantis limbs extend across the velvety white petals of a tropical bloom. Moonlight washes the scene in cool silver tones, highlighting the insect's folded forelegs and textured exoskeleton. The flower stands isolated against a soft blur of dark green foliage and the indistinct gray water of a tidal inlet. Dry season air leaves the surrounding leaves crisp and unclouded by dew. The mantis remains perfectly still, its head turned slightly, capturing a moment of frozen alertness. One shadow falls beneath the flower's curve, at the base of the creature in the quiet pre-dawn light.
