earthling<p>This eerie but vibrant snap shows a flower mantis (Creobroter sp.) perched on top of the strange fruiting body of a Cordyceps fungus. In daylight, this insect is usually green, but wildlife photographer Irina Petrova Adamatzky used strategically placed coloured lights to accentuate its otherworldly appearance and that of the fungus. The shot won a bronze award in the 2025 World Nature Photography Awards </p><p><a href="https://www.nature.com/immersive/d41586-025-00986-4/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/immersive/d41586-02</span><span class="invisible">5-00986-4/index.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/macrophotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>macrophotography</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mantis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mantis</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cordyceps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cordyceps</span></a></p>
Gemma Sarracenia<p>One spring, THREE mantis egg cases hatched on my porch. Nymphs everywhere, it was awesome. Mother was smart, laid her eggs near carnivorous plants, so they could feast on what they attracted with their nectar like aroma. Such "nectar" sometimes smells like cat pee or a whiff of decay, so that's nice.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mantis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mantis</span></a></p>

Gemma Sarracenia<p>Digging through my art reference photos, stumbled across the little dude that amazed me. Same mantis, saw him during the day and took pics, was using them and wanted some more after the sunset. I already thought their eyes are cool, but those night eyes are like vampiric pits, so metal.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mantis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mantis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bug" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bug</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a></p>
