Another week, another photo to highlight.

This week’s photo features one of nature’s more interesting insects. It was sent in by Peter Coppola and shows a praying mantis on a flower in his yard. Mantises are mostly ambush predators, but a few ground-dwelling species are found actively pursuing their prey. Females sometimes practice cannibalism, eating their mates after copulation.

Thanks for the photos, Peter!

We’d like to see your photos. They could be of your summer activities, a family trip or just everyday moments. Whatever you think is interesting and want to share. Email your photos to bcat@bcattv.org with the subject line “Photo of the Week.”
