I haven't named them yet! I've got three of them though :) this one's the lady, and then two smaller boys. Do you have any suggestions? 😊

Super cute! I love the crayon style rendering, it emphasises the playfulness of the pose and stylisation further ☺️🩷

More mantis cat-behaviours: if there's something on their front paws they don't like, they sometimes do that snapping-flicking motion to get it off.
They will paw rapidly, with both forearms stretched out upwards, when they are wanting to get somewhere else/reach something🥺

I don't know how intense any loss would feel for me, but I'm willing to manage it however it is. Also yes!!! The pinning and preserving is interesting, it's something I'm looking into as well ☺️

When they preen their front 'paws' and then rub their eyes! That's just like a cat! 😭 And of course that they have those lil raptorial arms at all!
I didn't expect the love of Mantids to Get Me. I'm looking into keeping them (and Australian leaf insects, too) ☺️

I think the mantis is so endearing to me because it has relatable points already:
pseudo pupils make big eyes cuter, looks like they're watching you.
They can turn their head, the only insect that can look over their shoulder! When you arrive and look at them, they turn their head towards You! 😭

It's going to be very hot across Australia today and the days coming, set out some water for the birds, lizards and bugs (with sticks and stones for perching and escape) out in your yards!! ☺️🪲

Thank you, though, for the compliment i appreciate it ☺️
