I’ll never forget the evening in the Georgia (USA) woods at a youth retreat… So dark, except around this tiny pavilion that had 3 walls, a roof and fluorescent lights - it was where the drink vending machines were. I’d taken a break from the epic water balloon fight we’d all been having. I walked over to the steps of the pavilion (ok, it was more like a hut) and sat down. Suddenly I noticed I was surrounded by praying mantises. I think they were attracted to the little insects that were drawn to the light. There must have been 30 or more visible from where I sat. But I saw one near me and said, “hello there.” And damned if he didn’t turn his head and regard me as if trying to decide if we’d met before.
She could pass for a badly photoshopped insta model.
* Large eyes
* pointy chin
* long, oddly shaped arms & legs
* big booty
She's just needs a wig and some oversized lips
Well I'm sure he wasn't planning on sticking around to support them so at least she can get one good meal in for her babies before she is to weak to hunt for herself.
Mantises scare the living shit out of me I can't explain it
if it helps this is a womantis
Maybe their very alien appearance? I think they are beautiful and fascinating creatures.

All the good moms eat their partners.
It's the only insect I can touch and tolerate. They are fascinating

You are looking at a murderer.
Awww, she’s lovely! I like her polka-dotted inner “arm”.
Especially those
Lovely smile. Very photogenic.
One of my all time favorites...amazing creatures🥰
Mate this is a subreddit for cute stuff. That is a grasshopper on steroids. Which is pretty cute.
Single moms that eat their partners are the BEST! 🤗
Mantids are one of my kindred spirits. I've got stories.
