Brunners Mantid

[ABbuggin]

Got three from Rick since I couldn't find any this year ( ) and I already took pics of them.

Sup brotha'.

They have a funny head.

Hiding in the grass.

Try to find it now. And Rick, let other people do it this time. :lol:

Lol, dont you mean "she".

 

[Rick]

Those look familiar. I tell you I can't find them by just looking. I use a stick to bend the grass down and look for the movement.

Couldn't resist could you?

I actually look for mantids the same way, but could find anything but Chinese. <_<

Well, by the time I "found" her, and the time I made a pic to show.... I had to edit it. Obviously I saw a piece of grass! :lol:

 

[ABbuggin]

LOL!! :lol: Well at least you got it in your "circle". :lol:

 

[Rick]

Beat you to it Kat.

 

[Katnapper]

Seems I can't see as well these days so I wouldn't say that but I do have a good eye for mantids. However, these brunners can hide very well. I can't find them with just eyes. Just for these I push the weeds down and look for them moving.

 

[kmsgameboy]

WOW! Thats a pretty cool mantid!

 

[Rick]

THey get big too. Well, I should say they get long.

Well then how in the heck did you find this one? :mellow: It wasn't a 3-D pic that you could push the weeds down and then see the little booger moving! Your eyes must not be as bad as you think (or as bad as mine, lol).

:lol: because that is ony a small area and I knew it was in there. But they can disappear from you. Took me three hours to find the first one this year and when I did I lost it in the grass and never did find it. But then I found another one and then three more within one foot.
