Just this guy, ya know?
Mantids are awesome they eat a bunch of crappy bugs, but they tend to follow the food so it's hard to keep them around.

Yeah I always enjoy seeing them, they have been fun to watch the past couple of days. I was surprised that they’ve stuck around and even weathered a few storms on the plants. There’s a never ending buffet of bugs here in the jungle.
I just shared these pictures in a different post, but they’re too cool not to share here too. I was cleaning up some lowers when I came across this bug. It looks like a predatory fungus has stopped it in its tracks. This is my first time seeing this in the garden!

Mantids are simple to hatch, raise and release. Order some egg cases and put them in brown paper sacks. In a week to ten days there will be tiny mantids by the score in the bags. If they are not released at the tiny stage, eventually the biggest baddest mantid of the bunch will emerge.

I spy a damselfly!
Anyone know what this insect is? They didn't seem to do any damage, but were everywhere.

Anyone know what this one is? The spotted leaves are due to spider mite damage, so I’m hoping it’s some sort of mite vacuum.
That's an assassin bug.
Don't piss it off.

I hired a new security guard, but caught him sleeping on the job.

I saw this cool spider on my plant the other day.
I got excited because I saw the same one on a bud, which always makes for a nice picture. However, when I zoomed in to take the picture, I saw there was another insect possibly eating the spider!?!?
The spider was definitely dead, I picked it off the plant today. Can anyone ID the insect? Is it a type of lacewing? I saw the same thing chilling on the bud of a different plant a day or 2 ago, notice there is a little dead spider in this picture. I see some crazy shit growing in the jungle. I love it!

You have photographed a rarity it seems. I suspected it was a kind of assassin bug, but I had never seen one that looked like that. My friends Google and Nat Geo helped.

Thanks buzzy, I knew you’d know what it is. I’m not sure I’m thrilled about this, this species of assassin bug seems to prey primarily on spiders... Crazy stuff Mother Nature!

Caught this T-Rex traipsing through the jungle.
Looks like he spotted you as well.
