She was full of eggs too. Tons of nutrients for this lucky Hymenopus! I can see them spilling out of her abdomen and getting slurped up!!!Hopefully its fuel for several big ooths

nice pictures. They are always amazing haha! Her thorax looks very short compared to the mantii I have seen.

A very special treat for a mantis, especially an orchid mantis. I use to have one female that I put outside on a plant very popular with butterflies and moths. She actually caught quite a few.
