Fed a female mantis a mealworm. Exoskeleton and all. Although a little out of focus due to movement, I think I got some nice shots with the macro lens.

Unfortunately... Peace was never an option.

And the mealworm never stood a chance. It had more of a chance against a mature fire ant colony than it did a female mantis. Those are brutal.

There is a important time for everything, important place for everyone, an important person for everybody, and an important ant for each and every ant keeper and myrmecologist alike
