wow wow wow so amazing !!!!!!
Missed this one - absolutely splendid ! But who is Jim Thorpe (notes) ?
Great pictures but the video it is just fantastic!!
Thank you for sharing.
Wow! I didn't realize they rubbed their abdomen on their wings to make a noise as well (you don't get that info from pictures usually)! This is a wonderful series. Please consider adding this to the Marvelous Mantids of the North East mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...
Wow!!!! Great!!
Very neat series!
Wow, neat video of some defensive behaviour! Stunning insect, this is a cool find :)

If I can figure out how-I'll post the video-cos it's cool-this mantis made some interesting sounds with it wings.
Adorable! I LOVE these guys!

Beautiful! I've never seen one with its wings spread like this.
