User's notes

The mantis was quite active once disturbed by the camera, as seen in the first image. The second image shows some detail of the head with what appears to be a parasite attached to the insect's right eye adjacent to the pseudopupil. The third and fourth images show the mantis as originally sighted, with potential prey (a second mantis) seen in the final image, just out of range. Additional close-up detail of the mantis is provided in following sighting 4483728 to help with identification.
