This green mantisfly (Zeugomantispa minuta) is my third species of mantidfly in the yard so far this season, and possibly my favorite. I even gave it a cartoonized glamour shot to celebrate :-)
Bug of the Day
Another green mantidfly (Zeugomantispa minuta) showed up at the light the other night, so of course I took a million pictures of it, and of course none of them came out, but here are two of the better ones :-).

This photo of a green mantidfly (Zeugomantispa minuta) eating a citrus Flatid planthopper (Metcalfa pruinosa) is brutal enough, but then I watched the video I shot of it and realized the planthopper WAS STILL ALIVE 😲 😱

This green mantisfly (Zeugomantispa minuta) has got yesterday’s BotD scorpionfly beat on the Otherworldly-looking creature scale by a factor of at least 5 :-).
