Awesome! ...but I think I'd lose my mind if I found one of them in my orchid room! :yikes: :faint:
|
:muahaha: Orchid watchdog!
|
Holy GuacAHmole!
Those insects are just gorgeous. . .sort of got grossed out with the way the mantis was holding that fly. Gad, it looked like it was drinking a coke! *EEEK* But I sure wouldn't mind having an orchid watchdog! They're very pretty in pink. lolol |
I remember in a book they had a picture of one. It was all pink. I loved it. I wouldn't mind having one. I grow mine in the house, though, so they wouldn't get any food.

look what we found in our garden today :biggrin:
so small that they are slightly less 1cm each ... looks like they just hatched from the egg pod... hello, world! :waving its interesting to note that they are black? and not green like the adults? or is this a "black" species? |
Such a beautiful insect. A green variety of Praying Mantis used to inhabit my parent's yard when I was a child...Walking Sticks and Leaf Hoppers too. I haven't spotted any in the last several years, probably due to the population explosion of frogs and lizards in Central Florida.

What a nice find. The young or nymphs as they are called are born black and often resemble ants. Looks like you have built in pest control.
