I had a visitor at work today...

Or have I suppose... I haven't decided what to do about him (her?) yet.

Played around with a couple different lighting angles and such, but otherwise they're both 200mm f/8 1/250 ISO 200.

Is that an albino Mantis? I thought they only came in green.

 

[OrionsByte]

I have no idea - I've never seen them in anything but green either!

His little friend right below him there is dead... I'm not sure if it was a male rival or what. I know that females eat the males after mating but that did not appear to be going on (the dead one still has it's head, for one).

I believe it is a Chinese mantis. They tend to be of tan colour. Take care of him/her/it/thing/whatever.

 

[ErikDornes]

He is mourning for his loved one...

My10-year-old niece told me to put it in a jar and name it Fred.

I left him on the partition and I'm not working tomorrow, but if he's still there on Thursday I'll have to find a way to give him a comfy home.
