Once again Pseudocreobotra wahlbergi female. She's quite aggressive, but I like aggressive mantids the most :)

And... Acromantis formosana male... I hope that you won't hate me guys- this male was first frozen, he moulted badly and even can't walk, so I end his suffer.

I don't think that it's cruel to give frozen mantids to other our animals- all in all we kill a huge amount food-insects don't we? It's the basic nature's rule- eat or you'll be eaten. This photo reminds me that mantids- the great predators, in the wild are also victims.
