Where do all these live? I'm intrigued to learn about them

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Mostly the southern parts of Africa

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Fun fact - the two big green ones side by side have such good camouflage as leaves that caterpillars often accidentally nibble them

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Tropical africa and asia for most.

The shield mantis being the exception

South america?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yep. Though other shield mantids are Asian

Can anyone explain why they’re doing the stanky leg? Seriously curious.

8 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 1

Almost all Mantises are rather inept at walking due to their large size and thin legs.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 3

they tend to sit on branches so they imitate the wind blowing.

8 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

My guess: a behavior that ended up breeding true because it makes them resemble petals/leaves in the breeze, thus helping to avoid detection

8 years ago | Likes 30 Dislikes 0

That's really neat! Nature is neat!

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Absolutely accurate. Source: bred mantids, wife is a entomologist, etc

Two light green ones couldn't care less. "Sure Susan, step on my face. It's fine."

Or the dark green one damn near shoving one of the little white ones off.

Pretending to be a leaf. Moving would give up the game.

Considering that Susan is a praying mantis, basically the equivalent of a Xenomorph, it's probably a good plan for them

8 years ago | Likes 35 Dislikes 0

Everything on that hand is a mantid though. Including the two Susan is stepping on.

8 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

Actually the ones that Susan is stepping on are leaf bugs. Mantids are +7 Camouflage/+10 attack, leaf bugs are +10 Camouflage/-1 Attack.

If you like gardening but hate bugs, I've got some news for you. Spoiler: bugs everywhere

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

For what it’s worth, they are effective bugs to introduce to gardens in order to keep out actual pests that are detrimental to your garden.

I know but could you imagine the look on their face when the thing they thought was a flower started crawling up their arm or leg

8 years ago | Likes 26 Dislikes 0

It would be a look of absolute delight. I got a whole Pinterest board of these dudes.
