Most male praying mantis are destined to be the female’s meal.

We had a friend on our front door for a long time...a lovely green pray mantis! She was always on the front door frame or somewhere on the front porch! She was our little bug guardian! Every time I walked out the front door I would look for her and say hi! Well one day I was watering my plants on the front porch and noticed another pray mantis...a little smaller and not as green. So I told nich "hey we have two pray mantis' now" which I got in response "cool maybe they will mate and we can see her eat him"

Well the next day keags and I were going for a walk...as we walked out the front door this is what we were so lucky to see!! (I got some pictures so nich wouldn't miss out on the fun)

she no longer needed him...so she eat him up...yum!!

it was really cool to see such an amazing part of nature...a little crazy but pretty cool!
