Stalking a praying mantis, who has somehow found its way to the front of the house.

...because, obviously, there couldn't be more one praying mantis around our house. πŸ˜…

This reminded me of that scene in Alien where the facehugger sheds its skin in the infirmary. So cool.

During the summer of That Year of Which We Do Not Speak, a baby mantis got into our kitchen.

It stayed way up out of the way, so we let it hang out, because it was doing a great job of controlling the local drosophila population.

Say hello to my leetle friend!

While caring for my rubber tree, I came upon this adolescent praying mantis keeping a look out for a snack or two. I love these guys.

Photo Challenge 198/365
This was a tiny praying mantis I caught trying to come in my house. I took them outside and tried to get some photos of it. Relatively calm model. Had a challenge with cloudy morning and trying to get all of it. The grain in the photo if because I had to bump up the ISO. Slider work to try to fix the photo.

She literally dropped in on me while on the hunt for a bug... Bug got away, but she was still full of sass πŸ˜‚

Managed to get her over to one of my plants πŸ’–

Predator! I'm happy I'm not a fly. But thanks to our size these praying mantises are harmless and actually kind of cute. This is an adult female Deroplatys desiccata, commonly known as dead-leaf mantis.

This dumb shit finally realised that he can drink water, only took him like a month.

We've literally had to "force feed" him water with @snowyzi before....how do these survive in the wild?
