the following is a program made possible by OAR (Observatory of Alex's Room) and DOPE (Dept Of Public Entertainment) 
in the lush rainforests of the alexISawesome region of Northern Connecticut, a killer stalks its prey:
this subadult Hierodula multispina is always looking out for food, as it need sustinance to support its 2 inch body, which is still growing
this subadult male here has caught a blue bottlefly, an elusive fly which migrates as a maggot or pupa from the mantisplace region of Central Ohio:
his translucent green coloration allows him to blend in with any live leaf, and while he eats, the color of his victim shows in his thorax
female Hierodula are known for their hygenic nature
the temperature in these forests are between 68 and 78 degrees and the humidity is constantly flunctuating, giving the local mantises their stunning color
Hierodula multispuna is not the only inhabitant of this area
this mentally unstable adult male creobroter pictipennis is not in a good mood
he later flew off and tried to kill the cameraman
he isn't the only creobroter native here
this female nymph, thought to be L5 or L6, stalks the forest like a shadow
she and many others of her kind, live in a cubic foot area near the hierodula, though they never have direct contact
a well camoflauged subadult male Popa spurca also can be found here
the mantises in the forest are a natural wonder, but the alex desert contains an especially mysterious creature
this L5 female Blepharopsis mendica is one of many in the desert dwelling
all the mantises of Northern Connecticut are somehow intertwined in their lives
the unstable ecological balance remains in the region as the times change
this has been a special OAR presentation
