praying mantis with recently decapitated mate on a chain link fence with morning glory vines.
I photographed this voracious lady on two successive days. On the first date the male was still connected to the female. See www.flickr.com/photos/96804954@N00/9766113251/in/photolis....
On the second day the male was gone and the female had an obviously distended abdomen. See www.flickr.com/photos/96804954@N00/10788036783/in/photoli....
