I tossed several flies into the Odontomantis micans cage and all 3 females decided they wanted the same one!

bug-cats or cat-bugs? That is the real question.

That is pretty dude. Hopefully they didn't try to eat each other when they finished off the fly.

I've seen my Metallyticus try to mooch off someone's meal, but they're not too thrilled about sharing. 😅

one female eventually walked off with the darn thing but it's fine. they all got fed
Knowing how possessive mantises are of their food, I'm surprised someone didn't get struck at. Trying to pull food from any of my mantises was a nightmare (this was when I was paranoid about them overeating, I did it in my first month but don't anymore).
