Tenodera sinensis
3 inch long, brown mantis
Tall grasses in a rural yard
This mantis caught and started to eat a moth while I watched. It was strange to see it eat the legs too! And it was covered from hair from the moth by the time it was finished.

Thanks Adarsha and Rieko! It was a little disturbing to watch it catch and eat the moth though.
Stunning shots :)
Beautiful series.
