[edit] Summary

This female mantis was photographed on my terrace devouring a male which I had been previously watching eat crickets in the morning. Photo by H. Mochizuki c 2006.

Actually, both of these are females. Males have much longer and differently-shaped wings. Dyanega (talk) 23:09, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, they both are females, and look to be Stagmomantis limbata, not S. carolina. My name is associated with this photo, but I did not take it, post it, or make the initial species ID. Mike Maxwell, 06 June 2008.
