Chinese Mantis Tenodera sinensisObserver
yawwhiteDescription
Rocky Fork Metro Park; I heard the sound of a cicada, but the sound wasn't quite the same as that of others. When I looked I found a preying mantis had grabbed a swamp cicada. After a while of silence, the cicada started making noise again and fell from the clutches of the mantis.
