Well done!
I've been rescuing bugs left and right as a way of illustrating how tame and harmless they are to us (most of them, and not in Australia 
).
The last one: this adult praying mantis (about 10 cm) found crawling on a friend's shirt, to the dismay and screaming of "kill it! kill it!" of his wife next to him. I held it on my hand until she realised it was not going to harm me, or her, or anyone, and then let it hop onto a nearby twig. "But aren't you afraid it will bite you? – Ma'am, I'm not a fly. This is the best natural cleaner of house bugs you can get, even available for order from an internet shop."

iNaturalistI have a praying #mantis in my garden! It's the first time I have ever seen one IRL in my life! I don't think they are common here in #Ottawa #Ontario #Canada. #prayingmantis #insects #entomology

May was a really good month for observations. May is autumn for us, but it was a very warm autumn!
Here are a couple of observations: a Kongobatha, an Orthorhinus, a Servaea incana, and a Clynotis severus.

@Robercrantz io in questi giorni ho rigiocato a #SubTerra con la prole, e ci sono voluti tre tentativi con una particolare combinazioni di agenti per riuscire ad uscire tutti vivi in modalità “cessi a pedali”. Piú recentemente abbiamo anche fatto qualche partita a #Machiavelli ed a #Mantis
Caught this little alien outside my house. It was small, but with a big attitude!
#Mantis was very central to the #cosmology of the Southern San /Xam people, a form of #trickster and guardian of the game /Kaggen. Recently some new rock art from /Xam country is believed to show the Mantis and his friends.
A big grey variety of mantis also figures in #Hadza story...
A tiny Flower Mantis, genus Astyliasula, spotted at Rifle Range Nature Park, Singapore on 29 June 2025. Had to zoom in with the camera to figure what it was; it looked like a dark spot to my eyes.

Insects & Spiders Tube (Mojö Fun)
After recently reviewing Safari Ltd.’s Insects TOOB and having previously reviewed CollectA’s Mini Insects and Spiders tube, I decided to follow them up with an overview of Mojö Fun’s 2024 Insects & Spiders Tube. I didn’t have high hopes for this set. Promo pics gave the impression of typical bin/dollar store-style cheap insects. And while such figures were probably the basis for several of […]
