Mantis in the yard

[Rick]

must be nice to have mantids all year round as its suppose to snow like tomorrow here or something and its getting cold now!

I don't have them all year round, just longer than you guys up north do. Our first frost will be sometime in November but I have found living mantids as late as Dec.

Same mantis. Today she had some type of small bug in one arm and a caterpiller in the other:

Same mantis a few days ago. She had company.

Really nice outdoor mating picture. Glad she's getting fertilized.
