Summary
DescriptionSphodromantis eating bee.IMG 3045s.jpg |
English: Female Sphodromantis, probably S. gastrica (Common Green Mantid). The stripe on the flank of the abdomen is variable. If present it might be various shades of yellow to purple. She is eating a bee; this is not unusual, but the species is known for eating caterpillars in particular.[1] A biting midge, Ceratopogonidae, appears to have filled its belly on the blood of the mantis while it fed; it is sitting on the joint between the right-hand femur and the tibia. |
