I checked on our pet George last week and saw an amazing thing about nature. It was kinda morbid but neat in a way because I get to see him eat the treat that he caught. What got me is that I saw the grasshopper's inside of stomach or heart still breathing while George was munching on him.
I feel bad for the grasshopper but I know that the praying mantis (George) is just trying to survive.
There are so many insects in my mums so George stay there. We visit and check on him everyday.
Can you see his teeth? This is my very first time seeing a praying mantis eat so it's pretty amazing. For some of you, this occurrence is just ordinary but for me it's extra ordinary hehehe.

Excellent shots!
I had a Praying Mantis living in the bushes in front of my porch but I haven't seen him lately. I've never seen him eat. :)
That's an amazing series of shots. I had a praying mantis in my classroom once. We had to purchase crickets to feed him. The kids found it very interesting. - Margy
wonderful shots! Loved seeing the details in these series.

I think your photography is amazing,but I couldn't look at some of it. I know it's nature but I can't look when a thing is eaten alive.
Thank you for visiting me and for your kind comments.

I've never seen an eating praying mantis before. Amazing shots, Rose!
