Unwelcome guest My local friend who set-up the light trap hates it when a Praying Mantis visits the light trap, especially the bigger size one as he thinks they may eat some moths before he gets to photograph them.  Fortunately I was able to get a record shot of. this one before he 'throw' them away, as it seems this species is not often photographed :D Hierodula philippina,Mantis,Palawan,Philippines,Praying Mantis Click/tap to enlarge Species introCountry intro
