We had a visitor the other day.

Even though I know the black spots in his eyes are just an illusion of light, its hard not to see them as pupils giving me a puppy dog look. #mantis #mantids #pnigomantismedioconstricta #insects #bugs #mantodea #insectsofinstagram #mantidsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/But7cxtBI_n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mrls7f4t4ga2

Lychee and Oolong looking more and more different with every molt! #phylocraniaparadoxa #ghostmantis #insectsofinstagram #mantis #mantidsofinstagram #invertsofinstagram #prayingmantis #insects #bugs https://www.instagram.com/p/Brh-zeQHA-5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=69zwkoca35p9

Why is he Like This. This can not be a comfortable rest position. Cookie. Why. #mantis #mantidsofinstagram #insectsofinstagram #insects #bugs https://www.instagram.com/p/BpJFdnansVw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tmw62zzwy50m

Maybe its just me, but Lychee has always seemed the most active of the three. #ghostmantis #prayingmantis #mantidsofinstagram #mantids #mantis #insects #bugs #insectsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BqdM93lh7iI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g9jokp6fnv88

We found a #CarolinaMantis in our yard - looks #female and full of eggs! We're happy to see her! #backyardentemology #weloveinsects #mantidsofinstagram (at Miss Interpreted's House of Torture (And Waffles)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQu6NLp862/?igshid=1ua2uf2f5keic

We had a friend in our house, he crept under the door like a limbo dancer and climbed the wall to look at our flag. I was puzzled by his coloration, because he wasn’t green like our usual mantids, this one was more of a blackish color. #mantisofinstagram #mantis #mantidsofinstagram (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CExmdAcDxPQ/?igshid=qhgtls5jlmhs
