In this image we see a copula of Praying Mantis where the female, much larger than the male, has already made an egg deposit where the future Mantis will grow, called Ooteca

Great capture of the moment- I should think it would be hard to find. Excellent clarity and detail- this looks even better with a click. I find it an interesting challenge to sort out all those legs!

Excellent image of the pair, and in combination with the egg mass, a special find.

Great shot. Lighting and sharpness both excellent, not to mention it teaches about the mantid life cycle.
