With my sigma 105 macro lens this fly was captured using canon camera

Very different to your mantis shot, and the harsh sunlight (I'm assuming) is not being your friend here. It's giving the shot a harsh almost simplistic look that is not uncommon in such light - esp if combined with a lack of flash and a need for a fast shutter speed and thus wider aperture leading to a thin depth of field

I always find it hard to get the fly to stay still, so I froze one ... yet when it came out of freezer, its eyes had glazed over and well, it didn't look nearly as good as yours.

I agree with Overread - very harsh light which is distracting! Nice shot though
