In order to pass, this beautiful, green mantis demanded the toll of laying on the ground and snapping some flattering images of her maternity attire! Chinese mantises have largely come to replace the native Carolina mantis that once inhabited much of the US. These powerful insects sometimes catch and kill small birds, such as our beautiful hummingbirds.
Garden and farm tenders, should you need to introduce natural insect control, please specifically choose the Carolina species, instead. Catalina Mountains, AZ.
