nah she was egg bound and wasnt hungry..+ the mantis was to small for her to go for.She liked to eat adult locust..any thing smaller than blue bottle flies she wouldn't go for.I didnt mind risking 1 just for the image any way as i had 100s at the time..gladly nothing happened tho

That picture is just briliant!
She is probably wishing it was her baby :lol: that look on her face should win an award!
Love it!! ^_^ I really enjoyed the R. basalis adults, both male and female, that I had. I have some of their nymphs now, and hopefully they will make it to adulthood. The pic is charming.
