Hooray for #invertefest! I may not post on all the days (Thanks Idalia) but I bring the Florida Grass Mantis, #Thesprotia graminis a very stylish little #mantid found in the North American Southeast. Marked as sensitive due to insects

So interesting to discover all the different Mantids. I think this is a #Cryptic #Mantid

Our native Coyote Bush is past its seasonal prime due to hard frosts and rains, but earlier in the fall it nourishes an astounding variety of insect pollinators (never can get a pic of the tiny iridescent green sweat bees!) and occasionally a praying mantis will hang out for the buffet.

Today I have a wonderful little nymph of a #preyingmantis in amber for #fossilfriday. It is about 16 Mio yrs old, belongs to the genus Stagmomantis and was found in the Dominican Repuclic. Part of the amber exhibition in the @SMNStuttgart, photo by me. #mantid #amber

This Mantis(d?) joined me having lunch overlooking the Crocodile River in #southafrica
As I sat down, it landed on the table, and didn't leave for more than 30 mins as it wandered around on the table and chair. I
I couldn't make any sudden movements, in case I scared it off, so had to take some pics as best as I could, whilst still trying to eat my lunch!
