Praying mantis. Just a baby. We checked each other out and he let me take multiple pics.
He was about the size of my pinky fingernail 😍

On today’s episode, I am going to take a look at the album “Time Tells No Lies” by Praying Mantis, the band’s debut studio album released on April 3, 1981.

Animal Week continues…
I was working night shift at PS90 Condos in NYC when an unexpected guest showed up, waiting to be allowed in. Never happened, but I thank them for their patience in allowing me to snap the photograph!

I have found FIVE, yes five, praying mantis egg cases (called ootheca) in my yard so far.
I love finding them, they will hatch sometime in June and I will be the foster parent to hundreds of baby mantis!

It’s #prayingmantis season yet again! I collected these egg sacs all around my property (undoubtedly made by a bunch of my guys & gals from last year); I’ll care for them until they’re ~2 wks old and then will release them in my garden ☺️

This young praying mantis watches the world with quiet precision. 🦗✨ Fun fact: Juvenile mantises from the order Mantodea are called nymphs, and they look like miniature adults, already capable of hunting from day one. #Veinbug #PrayingMantis #MantisNymph #MacroWorld

So excited to see what emerges from this praying mantis cocoon I found! It is actually called an "ootheca" and is a stiff, foam-like egg case produced by the female in the fall. It protects 50–300+ eggs through winter.

A bunch of scattered tiny mantis nymphs, shortly after hatching in a screened terrarium. The egg cast can be seen in the lower-middle of the photo.
Big hatch-out today on the first day of spring! #prayingmantis
#OnThisDay March 20, 1981 #PrayingMantis released their brilliant debut 'Time Tells No Lies'. It peaked at number 60 on the UK Albums Chart in April 1981 & the iconic cover is by #RodneyMatthews Excellent twin guitars & harmony vocals. Still sounds great.

If you look closely, you can see the moss mantis' newly formed wing buds. Her next and final molt will produce fully developed adult wings.

A large praying mantis eating wheat grass
We had a guest today. He was about 5" tall and missing two legs. We gave him water which perked him up. Then we offered him wheat grass and he went to town! Giant #PrayingMantis in #Thailand

The Violin mantis will sway back and forth to imitate a stick or leaf moving in the wind. They have an ear in their thorax that detects bats' ultrasonic frequencies to evade predators.

Prompt: an insect
May be recency bias but I love the mantis!
They're so graceful but deadly lmaoo
Plus there are some species that genuinely look lile aliens O_o
