Close Up Views Of A False Garden Mantis

February 26, 2018 by Jade Craven Leave a Comment

I was at my parents recently doing some weeding. I was fortunate enough to come across 3 mantids in that area. I ran inside and grabbed my camera. I was incredibly lucky; the mantid was willing to hang around the nearby rose bush and allowed me to get the following photos.

I’m so grateful as I wouldn’t have otherwise been able to see just how beautiful and intricate the species is.
