She was enjoying her meal until the second course walked by and she decided to have it early!!!




 
Ha, it seems to be a mantises favorite trick, the old "twofer". :D

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)
