The ol’ home computer is still having massive problems, so just a quick post for today. It’s been a couple of months since I posted a mantid photo, and because they’re such awesome insects, you can’t ever see enough mantids, and I’ve seen a lot of them recently, I give you this:
Mantid butt!
Mantid butt! This is a Chinese mantid, so it’s a really BIG mantid butt too. Here’s hoping it was just full of eggs and NOT full of parasites like that one time… :)

I agree that you can’t ever see enough mantids (unless they ever come in plagues). Furthermore, I was fascinated when a mantid got mad at me and started hissing and waving its forelegs at me. I think it was because I had nearly stepped on it. (Well, it was its own fault for being so well camouflaged.)
