It's the most wonderful time of the year - baby praying mantis season!

I haven't posted any new photos in a month or so for reasons, not least that it's been fun to look through old pictures and give them another chance at love, or views, or whatever. But yesterday I spotted the first praying mantis babies of the season, and that calls for a change of pace. Shoot, I think it should be a holiday.

The earliest I have ever seen mantis babies here is April 14. So, April 21 is right on time. I found at least five individuals, and they are so tiny and well-camouflaged that it certainly means there are lots more I haven't seen.

Hooray, and happy Baby Mantis Season!

Cochise County, Arizona, April 2024.

[ID: a symmetrical illustration of a red, orange, and yellow moth with colorful patterned wings. It is on a mottled blue and green background with stylized leaves. End.]

Atlas moth. After their metamorphosis, the adult moths have no functional mouthparts - they search for a mate, lay their eggs, and die within around two weeks.
