Mantis Mayhem

Yeah, mantid mayhem indeed. Here's a collection of the various species of mantids I spotted during December. These insects are really common around vegetation as there's ample amount of food sources around. All these individuals were spotted around my home. Here are two common ones with different shades of colour around their body.

And another two little green ones that are also commonly seen around bushes. These seem to love flying around.

And one of the tiny little weaver-ant-mimic mantis. This one seems to be a juvenile that's mimicking the weaver ants to avoid predators.
