Giant Rainforest Mantis Nymph Eating Cricket

Nymph of Hierodula majuscula eating a captured cricket on hand. This nymph, freshly moulted and having only hunted small flies before, is eager for a larger meal. By pinning this cricket in place with its large forearms, the mantis begins to devour its prey.
