S. carolina

I hope it is OK to re-post some photos from my thread in a different section of the forum. I found a mantis in the yard and brought it inside where it laid an ooth (am I using the term properly?). I let her go because I just don't have the supplies to care for a mantis and there's no point in keeping her.

Found some more, I've also got more feeding photos too. They appear so curious! She followed me around a bit.

They are a nice species. They do well in captivity.

Sorry for the delay, my laptop's fan stopped working and it took me nearly a week to get my old PC up and running with internet.

I didn't measure but she was about as long as my forefinger I want to say.. 2-2.5"?

I love the carolinas.

I really like the shadow pictures you posted. I think mantis shadows are so cute!
