There are a lot of extraordinary mantid species in my mantis folder.

Tell me, if you want more.

Why do domestic animals hate our mantis friends?

Woot, my first /an/ thread that actually got replies! :D

Anyway, I found this mantis on the side of the road and it was awesome, so Mantis appreciation thread time :)

Very nice. I'm assuming you were walking? Otherwise you have eyes like a hawk! :P

Unfortunately, it appears that I am out of Mantis pics. I never had any of my own, so I just have some random ones I downloaded..well actually I have a few more I just realized, but they are all pinned/preserved specimens.

he was in the middle of a road; i'm surprised he didn't get hit by a car !

Either way, yeah, i was walking towards an old train depot and got distracted by this guy. I've never seen a praying mantis in real life before so i was estatic!

Heh, yea it's always a lot different to see animals in person rather than in a photo. I used to see them a bunch in Hawaii while we lived there..for 6th and 7th grade. Even had one of them that seemed intent on flying into my head, so I ran away from it. haha

Even had a centipede bite me while I was there...that SUCKED!

Last one. Took these all by hand and without flash..so they aren't the greatest as the lighting was sort of yellow and I am not good at making adjustments for that..in fact, I think I left it on auto (as far as compensation for the yellow light) or just whatever was standard. No idea..
