Initially I thought these were the same species. They were photographed in a meadow where I have often photographed our native mantids. But it turns out the bottom photo is of a species I'd never found before, though I knew we had them in the area. The wing length should have tipped me off.

Backlit shot of a European mantis (Mantis religiosa) next to a mushroom. The widely spaced eyes allow three-dimensional vision required for accurate prey capture. Mantids are cannibalistic and well known for females devouring males before, during or after mating.

European mantis (mantis religiosa) in northern California.

As the name implies, this is an introduced species in North America.

European Mantis - Adult Female

My first mantis! Throwback from all the way back in 2017. She ate 3 males due to people's lack of awareness of their cannibalism habits.

"MANTIS RELIGIOSA"

Según el lugar cultural donde se encuentre, una mantis religiosa es señal de buena suerte. En distintas culturas también representa una conexión con el mundo de los espíritus.

Egyszercsak valami zúgást hallok... Hát lett egy új lakótársam:

Egyetlen szépséghiba, haver, hogy én ebbe nem egyeztem ám bele, úgyhogy ne hari, de kilakoltatlak. A rabomobil:

Kivittem a ház elé, a bokrokba. Hidd el, jobb sorod lesz ott hosszú távon!
