@savcavalcante.bsky.social este pequeno louva-deus marrom magrinho pousado sobre a folha do limão é um juvenil, certo?
Ele pulou na câmera, em mim, e só ficou feliz quando levei ele até a árvore (subiu em disparada sem olhar pra trás 😅)

A macro photo of the face of a bright green praying mantis. The Mantis has large green eyes with small black dots on either side of its triangular face. It has slender antennae which rise above to the left and right, and the elbow of one of its raptorial arms can be seen just to the left and below its face.
We are praying that your #monday is going well, and that you are reminding anyone that is trying to keep it from doing so, that they could find themselves on the menu 😆

A macro photo of the front of a gray/green praying mantis. THe mantis's head is triangular, it's large eyes are gray mottled with black, it's head is gray with mottled green and some black. The ocelli, primitive eyes are arranged in an inverted triangular pattern in the center of the head. The slender gray antennae extend towards the camera. The mantid's raptorial arms and pronotum, the area just behind the head, are colored gray with mottled light green and some black markings, a very lichen-like color and pattern which aids concealment.
Grizzled Mantis male, Gonatista grisea (possibly G. bifasciata pending taxonomic revision.) from 2021.

A photo of the head and raptorial arms of a tan praying mantis. The raptorial arms are partly folded and are covered in black spines. The eyes are grayish purple and have a dot that makes it look as if the mantid is giving the photographer side eye...
Happy #MacroMonday from this Carolina #Mantid from a few years back.

🎄 An honorary #InsectAdvent mention to the Praying Mantis #Mantodea, featured in the same group #Dictyoptera with unlikely sisters cockroaches & termites, a testament to the diversity of insect evolution.
#FunFact: The #Mantis can turn its head 180°.

picture of a small praying mantis sitting on a sand coloured wall. The mantic is facing the camera showing its spiky raptorial forelegs
It's the last week of August so it must be #InverteFest time!
This praying #mantis was seen in a coastal area north of Perth, likely a Mallee Grass Mantis (Archimantis sobrina) it has impressively spiky raptorial forelegs

I miss having mantids!

An assortment of European Mantises (Mantis Religiosa) from the last summer or two. 🥰
Found an ootheca on the side of my house recently, so hopefully I'll be graced by their presence again this year!

Well, it may not have been fresh hatchlings from the ooth I was watching, but I got to see little Carolina Mantis babies this year anyway!
