Not in the UK!?

Nope! It was in NE Spain, on the coast about level with Girona. This was the second photo I took after encouraging it off the road with a pine needle, hence the side-eye I assume.

I assume they're the same as here (Alicante). The smaller brown one is a male and can fly, the longer slim green one is female and can't fly. Here's a bit about mantis mating:

If I'd know he could fly I'd probably not have spent 5 minutes trying to get him off the road! It's the first time I've seen one of these around there (Baix Emporda).

When I was on Indonesian Borneo, deep in the pristine tall pole forest, in the mid 90s one of those mantises bit (or maybe clawed) me in the head so I grabbed it and hoyed it on the ground and stamped on it. Then a monkey ate all my fags.

There's a whiff of the William Burroughs in there...

So many little details:
- circular L plate, which matches a light on the other side for visual balance
- the animal print
- "I've been to __ " stick-on pennants on the screen
- the stand is down - but he still seems to have to hold it up

And for a gold star... Who can identify the car behind him?

Dunno, but that's a wide wheel arch or very narrow cabin!

And it was ... ?

[Wossname]

No, I'm not there yet. Probably my era - 1970's or thereabouts. Something unusual, coupe, fastback-ish, horizontal rectangular tail lights - Gilbern? No - lights are wrong. Help me here, all you teenage (then) petrolheads.....

[Horse]

horizontal rectangular tail lights -

Yup, unusual.

Much of the stuff then was influenced by US styling, or similar with 'fins' and vertical lights.

[Felix]

Was thinking Volvo myself but the tail lights tended to be upright/portrait so probably not

Could be a Delorean in the pic. At least one of those could time travel.
