It´s Big Green Preying Mantis Season
It´s preying mantis season again, going from one type to anthor. We´ve just had the smaller ones the colour of dried grasses and now it´s the large bright green ones.
Yesterday this fellow was inside the front door curtain, I popped him on a plant and got some not very good photos. This morning there was one without a head outside the back door. Poor chap. We know what he´d been doing.
They are just so amazing,the head rolls around on its neck to look at you with a feeling that they´re going to pounch.
I think Bug´s Life did its take off of them excellently.

Wow they're amazing insects! But why do their heads come off..?! (found you through BlogHorm)
ReplyDeleteHi Maria,
ReplyDeleteIt´s said that during mating the female praying mantis starts to eat her partner, beginning at the head.
It´s not supposed to stop him finishing mating!
I love Praying Mantis's... There's something so graceful about the way they move, I wish we had them here! :)
ReplyDeleteThere is something amazing about them, the way they look at you. The way their heads seem to do a 3/4 turn, so smoothly and gentile.
ReplyDeleteThe legs are incredible too, the way they bend in half.
I´m so fortunate to live where I do now.
