Attracted to UV 40w light. Not sure if it crashed or attacked by predator, but lots of hissing noises in this state....thinking the head may be missing?

Shows the colour variation within this species. 3 adult females and a male (right). I collect coloured juveniles and keep them in captivity to see if they retained the colouring - I have observed that the females usually do but this was the first brown adult male I have seen.

Found this mantis eating a male after mating. The male was still alive at the start, but about an hour later I could only find wings and legs.

I think this is another Mallee Grass Mantis. It’s in a different location to the others. A surprise find - they seem to be everywhere right now!
