Uploading this Mantis, drawn from memory, so I force myself to study real references, draw an accurate one and find all the anatomical mistakes in my memories.

I used to be really into insect photography, because macro photography is fun. I took these back in like 2013ish? Maybe fedi will like them.

The mantis was my pet, and the butterfly was from a "butterfly kit".

a close up photo of a small green praying mantis walking upside down on a house plan with red and green leaves. The mantis is still young and semi-translucent, so you can see it's internals. The mantis is a few centimeters tall, but the photo is close enough that you can see their mandibles and antenna. They are finishing off eating the insides of another bug.The same mantis, but this time silhouetted, still upside down, but they're eating a wingless fruit fly I gave them.macro photo of a tragic monarch butterfly on a small stick. Their right wing is crumbled and one of their antenna is a bit weirdly bent. They look shocked at their recent rebirth.

It is also known as Yunnan Asian Mantis. this species has been observed growing significantly more in width than in length, making them look flat and broad. They possess a "dragon-like" appearance. Known to be very aggressive to its own kind, making them dangerous to keep together.

Oh yeah, forgot I was going to include ref photos when I shared this. One year I had 3 egg sacks (ootheca) hatch on my porch and I got a bunch of great reference photos. These are what went into the above. predators LOVE hanging around predatory plants, who lure them in.

Mantis nymph (no wings formed, a wee baby), perched on the rim of a white trumpet pitcher plant, drawing insects in with veins of color resembling rotting meat, and the scent of decay within the deadly nectar. But inspirational with a natural lens flare and some moody looking clouds that seem to be urging themselves forward, just barely.Tiny baby mantis, looking at me with zero fear because they are totally incapable of this emotion and will totally jump on you for a ride. So many mantis babies needed rescuing after a ride inside that year. Also, much side eye.This acrobatic baby let me get one fantastic shot before leaping away, did not feel like a ride on the giant for now.

Mantis eyes always appear to be looking at you but it’s an illusion created by the structure of their eyes. (Pseudopupil) The light absorbing lenses (ommatidia) appear dark because you’re looking straight through that one, while the surrounding lenses reflect light.
