Ha, it seems to be a mantises favorite trick, the old "twofer".
Wait until you see her tracking after a third feeder too, or more. So far my personal mantis record is two bottle flies in a right arm with one fly in the left arm (One of my Chinese (Tenodera sinensis) girls) - although, they all seem to try to keep grabbing even more as they come near.
Cool video! It's one thing to watch them catch an insect but when they catch an additional one, it blows my mind sometimes. What type of mantis is that btw? I have an idea, but not sure. Thanks!
@CosbyArt Yes she amaze me every other day... I actually seen her jump for her a food... More like lunged lol... It was awesome.
@minomantis I agree... The last few feedings have been house flies... They are much more quick than the bottle flies but she seem to have adapted! It's an African mantis (Lineola)
