Mantis religiosa
2", tan
meadows
I spotted this mantis caught in a huge spider web on the building outside of the lunchroom at work. I was really surprised to look and see the huge insect caught in a massive web about 8' above the ground.

Hi Dan! I would love if you would consider this for the Marvelous Mantids of the North East mission:

cute
Thanks Dangermouse. I just checked them on your profile. You have seen quite a few this year!
Love that first pic, the expression is priceless. :) I've seen quite a few this year, and so many different colours and types that I've never seen before. It's strange.
Thanks. I haven't seen too many either. I think this was my second of the season.
nice capture.. I haven't seen one of these in years..
