Field Notes

Description:

I spotted the two big mantids on the same tulbaghia plant and it wasn't until I started taking photos that I noticed the third, smaller, green mantid under the brown one!

Notes:

First photo shows all three together, 2nd and 3rd photos show the two larger ones posing, 4th is the large green mantid on its own, and 5th photo is the brown mantid and small green mantid together.
