My Devil's Flower L-3 eating a bluebottle fly. It's amazingly capable of tackling a huge prey item at this early stage of development. They're one of the largest mantis species.😎 #naturephotography #nature #macrophotography #macro #prayingmantis #mantis #insect #eastcoastkin #photography

My Spiny Flower mantis and his newly formed wing buds. His next and final molt would produce fully developed adult wings. 🥰 #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlife #macrophotography #macro #prayingmantis #mantis #insects #eastcoastkin #photography

My Spiny Flower mantis reached adulthood and earned his wings. They had time to dry out, so it was time to exhibit those beautiful wings! 😍 #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlife #macrophotography #macro #prayingmantis #mantis #insects #eastcoastkin #photography

Day 34 of showing you that certain animals (including spiders) aren't scary 😲 Today’s creature feature is Blossom the orchid mantis 🌸 She doesn’t breathe like we do! She uses spiracles (tiny holes along her sides) to pull in air. How cool is that?! 😁 #facts #prayingmantis

My Orchid Mantis, while pregnant, was hanging upside down from an air plant. She gave birth to hundreds of little orchids. 😊 #naturephotography #nature #macrophotography #macro #prayingmantis #mantis #insect #eastcoastkin #photography

This Orchid mantis is at its L-2 stage, having only molted once. She is super tiny at this stage of her life. She'll be much larger as an adult. #naturephotography #nature #wildlife #macrophotography #macro #prayingmantis #mantis #insects #eastcoastkin #photography

Meet Potpourri, one of my devil's flower mantises. He is at his L-3 stage of development, having only molted twice. Devil's Flowers are one of the largest mantis species. #naturephotography #nature #macrophotography #macro #wildlife #prayingmantis #mantis #insect #eastcoastkin #photography
