Cool praying mantis photos

[avram]

Doing a bit of research on praying mantids, I found a page with some amazing photos:

Brilliantly colorful mantis, protecting her egg sack

Skeletal-looking mantis, like something from a fantasy painting

Leaf-like mantis

I’m still looking for good photos of mantid mouth-parts.

Must be kismet. (Hail and kismet!) Especially since “Father Lucifer” was playing on net.radio, so it’s not like I’d picked it or anything. (I’ve got two or three Tori Amos albums, but not Boys for Pele.)
