Description
New Zealand native praying mantis (Family Mantidae, Orthodera novaezealandiae) feeding on the leg of a New Zealand native jumping spider (Family Salticidae, Trite planiceps). This was photographed in a garden in Christchurch, New Zealand. The mantid grabbed the spider with its front legs and with its egg-beater-vacuum-cleaner mouthparts began feeding.
