Praying Mantis Buffet on the back door,
a Praying Mantis, lately we have had many of them show up at night around the lights we leave on at night, one night I counted 7 of these insects around one door, and 25 !!!!! spiders sitting around that same area, all of them waiting for something tasty to catch and eat, we have a Praying Mantis and Spider buffet on our back door.
this is a Praying Mantis sleeping upside down, this was actually the picture when she started looking up at me, the picture below shows her sleeping with the head sideways turned
I have never seen a brown colored Praying Mantis, but different shapes of green, so I am not sure if this one changed color based on the wall she was sitting on, the others sitting there at the same time were green. Funny how this big insect is looking at me
side view
another close up
Different egg sizes, on the top is a very large 2.5 inch egg, on the bottom a very small pullet egg, the two eggs in the middle are normal sized eggs
