  • Three more mantises and they could do 'Y.M.C.A.'
  • *waits for mirrorball to fall*
  • yeah...I put John Travolta's face on that little guy too... still made me smile!
  • "I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille!"
  • Genius. Yah!
  • She won't be Stayin' Alive very long if she don't get out of that road, like.
  • I was actually thinking more of the "I will survive" alien.
  • Yawn. Wake me up when a mantis does a goatse.
  • That mantis be crumpin'.
  • Awesome pic, beautiful bug! Nice post. Made me feel like dancing, then ripping the head off my mate and eating it.
  • What? No LOLBug?
  • "i has a poze"
  • YMCA? Stayin' Alive? I saw the mantis and immediately thought Sister Sledge. Could just be me.
  • It looks like its saying 'you think you can take me, punk? bring it!' (i still wanted to dance when i saw it. thank you, hb)
  • she looks somewhat like a he to me. Not that I was looking you understand.
  • I'm tempted to ask how you sex a mantis, stomper, but I might not like the answer (or will have a laugh at ensuing jokes on this theme, depending).
  • well, I'm no entomologyst, but for a start I'd guess that the one that still had a head was the female. But pre-coitis, as it were, I'm just going by that knobby thing sticking out between it's hoppy little rear legs. Again, not that I'm staring.
  • At first glance, yeah, that "knobby thing" looks male, but I think it's just an (intentionally?)awkward positioning of the rear left leg.
  • ovipositor maybe?
  • It's the brain that really matters. Tranny mantis FTW!
  • (Why do I have this sudden want to go to Club Med..?)
  • *wiggles antennae in greeting to nil*
  • Club Medfly?
  • That is so great!
