Beau. She/Her. 28. Queer.Hi, I love bugs! I post mostly insect related stuff— whether it’s my own bugs or reblogging others photos. I love animals and nature and making friends! Icon by @silkmoths
It's the most wonderful time of the year - baby praying mantis season!
I haven't posted any new photos in a month or so for reasons, not least that it's been fun to look through old pictures and give them another chance at love, or views, or whatever. But yesterday I spotted the first praying mantis babies of the season, and that calls for a change of pace. Shoot, I think it should be a holiday.
The earliest I have ever seen mantis babies here is April 14. So, April 21 is right on time. I found at least five individuals, and they are so tiny and well-camouflaged that it certainly means there are lots more I haven't seen.

Atlas moth. After their metamorphosis, the adult moths have no functional mouthparts - they search for a mate, lay their eggs, and die within around two weeks.
