RE: Mantids hidden in the flowers.

These are all great captures for different reasons... but that second image is EPIC! Great job. I think it's always cool to see the Praying Mantis'. I used to have one i captured for a pet... and watching them eat is something else! They chewed a hole in the head of the cricket and sucked out the liquified insides. It was always fascinating to watch. Keep up the great work!

Thanks!
Yeah, they usually start at the head! With no venom to kill the prey the safest way to make sure it doesn't get away is to just eat the head first. I've kept one a few years ago too, really liked crickets.

Dude... that's awesome that we both shared that experience. Super cool.

That is indeed rather cool! :)
