The butterfly seemed to be posing, fluttering but not flying away from the camera. Then the predator became more obvious, lying in wait near the flower, well camouflaged. We have the impression that there are more mantes this season. One theory is the joyous reunion of two old friends, the oriental mantis and the oriental stinkbug. More prey for for the praying mantis. The butterfly was an incidental victim of the possibly proliferating predator.
