Wildlife encounters: Praying mantis

[stephbg]

Tonight in the shadows around the bins at Sector 7 I saw not another giant spider, but a giant praying mantis, and as a bonus it looked very much like she was laying eggs. Baby praying mantises are very cute.

those are her wings - they don't get very large in females of that species. Boys ARE capable of flight though.

Delightful! - and I'm not being ironic, I'm very fond of preying mantises. Thanks Steph!

I think they're gorgeous.
