    Mantids and jumping spider often hang out where prey items occur. I saw this mantis hanging out on a Sedum flower and knew he would catch something pretty quickly as the insects love the Sedum 'Autumn Joy'. Looks like a damselfly, which was also likely hunting at the time he was caught.

    Mantids are ridiculously cool. Love photos of them. Nicely done.
