Mantis it's eating Mate

Captured this mantis eating her mate in my daughters apartment on the second floor. Don't know how it got there, but it was very difficult photographing with my daughter screaming in my ear to get it out of the house so I could ony capture a few images.

Do you have any pictures of your daughter screaming? They would be great for another part of the forum. I like the Mantis pictures.

How deceiving the sweet expression of the female mantis is- a bit like all us ladies really.

The funny thing is we really never see them here either than low and behold two in one week. Or should I say two and a half. The first was a green one. Thanks for looking and commenting.I like the third one -- that is one alien looking thing. someday I'm gonna see one of these!

But Noooo! She asks for a little cuddle afterwards, and look what happens!
