People who like mantises but aren't that into entomology are always "orchid mantises" this and "orchid mantises" that. Overrated. Can we talk about Toxodera integrifolia for a minute:
(Image links because as much as it pains me I've never seen one of these beauties irl: 1 2 3)
Like how are these things real. Girl what is that thorax shape. Why are you wearing eyeliner. And the colors? Absolutely fire. This is a 10/10 insect if you ask me.

Have been on a quest to better understand insect mouthparts, here're breakdowns I did on mantis, but a lot of the basic structure applies to most insects with chewing mouthparts Here's also a very nice video that covers all adaptations and names all the individual parts:

with summer come the bugs. but this one might be sweet.
i will have to reprint the spiky claw parts because their range of motion is not quite what i meant it to be, but i was eager to still paint this first version. making insect girls is fun, and i have a few other bugs in progress to greet the terrors [heat & light] of summer.

male mantises are such bimbos I saw this guy miss a bee, then very confidently take a bite of the goldenrod buds he caught instead

Took a wrong turn on a trail yesterday and ended up having to back track, (not ideal to add an extra mile in 95° blazing sun/white sand) but it ended up worth it because this little nugget mantis found me in the middle of the trail! The Little Yucatán Mantis (Mantoida maya*) is indeed little, she's full grown and barely over an inch. Not that much bigger than the tiger beetles which roam the sands. I've only seen 3, and a couple babies (which are ant mimics!), and had just one picture of an adult before today. 🖤
*This species is native to central Florida and southward into Central America, as the name implies
