A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Mantis religiosa
Prey mantis are very rare insect You should never kill one they are very interesting.
Praying mantises are actually more common than we think. The reason why they are hard to find because their camouflage. They still need to be respected and never killed.
This would be a nice addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the North East mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...
Hi EJ, what a cool mantis!
I see you have entered it for a few missions but we have had to remove it from Captive Animals (this is for zoo animals), Signs of Wildlife (signs like nests, webs & so on not the animal itself) & International Spider Survey. I hope you understand.
