I made this after seeing Haley Heynderickx live in Pasadena a few months ago (and of course I didn’t post it until now haha).
I made it trying to incorporate the whole album ‘I Need To Start A Garden’ but I seem to have gravitated towards the song ‘The Bug Collector’. During the show she mentioned that a new album is in the works (which is why I only have one photo haha), an album which resonates with her life now. Her music is so beautiful, complex, and inspiring and I’m just so excited for it!
This might surprise you, but a praying mantis can indeed kill and eat a hummingbird. Only large mantises around 4 inches long have the capacity to catch a hummingbird, though.
Draco Mantis are a highly dimorphic dragon of the Botanical Dragon family. Ranging from medium in length at 18 inches long to quite small at 3inches. Found primarily in tropical regions within dense lush forest, they are quite elusive and as such very little is known about this species.
Ambush predators the Draco Mantis will sit perfectly still, it’s upper body ridged and ready to spring forth it’s arms to grab hold. While not aerialists of the dragon world the Draco Mantis can fly short distances and is largely done to get from tree to tree or to avoid predation.
