MANTID

This was the smallest preying mantis I have ever seen - I couldn't even discern what insect it was with the naked eye. I thought it was a plant hopper of some type, but the camera revealed it to be a mantid

What a cute mantis...love the "Rayban" eyes!

How clever to get such a great pic of the Purple-crested Turaco

If you cannot see all those tiny insects, how do you find them?

The photos are marvellous though. Those transparent wings are are a joy for the eyes $O/\$ $O/\$

I love the lizard

BC - you're averse to spiders??? I would never have pegged you as a girlie-man

All insects are creepy in my book.

I remember checking them out with a microscope when around 6 years old and it was clear where movie makers were getting ideas for monster horror movies.

I go “cold” when a spider is around

The lion/leopard episode is great

The swimming

You just gave me another skrik with a mantis

nan, RP, Sis, Pumbaa, Flutts, and BC - appreciate you taking your time to comment. THANK YOU!

RP - "The Bird Mafia will get you if they see you calling it a Lourie…"

If my bird book says "Lourie or Turaco", how do I know which one to pick?

BC - "I go “cold” when a spider is around "
The jumping spiders are the cute cuddly ones!

The assorted misc. spiders are still to come…lucky you.
