This is what African honeybees do when they're not killing Americanized Portuguese. Sorry just a bit of sarcasm for the kids who want a new colour candy.

No. Your a lucky lady , enjoy the mantids.

Sphodo sp. ??? Pseudocreobotra ocellata ??? Neodanuria bolauana ???

Stick to indigenous for now cause they are use to the weather. Otherwise go with Sprodomantis

What do you think of Argiope australis?

I think it's quite funny to find new species in South-Africa, especially big ones that make 4m webs. So far the pictures look like a closely gaurded secret. Have a look at this one. http://www.sareptiles.co.za/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=26097

People react differently to the bite of this spider. Some people will only have a lot of pain while most lose a coin sized piece of skin and muscle.

I like these big chunky ones like Sprodomantis because I like to hold them in my hand once in a while and they are tough buggers that don't easily die in captivity. When it comes to collectors items I'm a Empusa fan. They're the closest thing to my idea of what a mantis should look like.

There's a lot more to this movie than just funky photography, it took more than 3 years to complete.

Thanks for the picture comments. I know there are some real good photographers in the insect world so I am going to go out and try to make some 5 star ones. B) Can you guys plz add a few of your "roadtrip" files.

I saw it and it was amazing. Do you like life in the undergrowth?

I heard a very interesting story about this snake, a long time ago they were quite common in overseas exports and people thought of them as a very placid snake. They ended up handling these guys like they were ordinary corn snakes and you would see kids with these in their hands. After some...

Here's a kind of daytime post. It has some of the other kinds of creepy pets and hopefully I be adding some mantids to it as-well. This girl is one of the local Orbwebs. She is either Nephila or Argiope. Luckily males are always nearby so they make interesting photos. He is out of focus...

I sometimes go out and drive on our roads at night to see what kind of things I can find. My searches are mostly for snakes but since photography is so cool I started to stop for smaller things too :) Here's some local yokels from the Oudtshoorn area in the Karoo- South Africa. SA Baboon...

We call them Rainspiders in Africa cause they are out after rain. They make good pets and build a very cool nest out of leaves. The nest http://fireflyafrica.blogspot.com/2009/03/rain-spider-nest.html

Hi ,I saw these at my local diy store. If anyone has a interest in buying them you can forward me a PM. They sell for 90 bucks which equals about $13,50 or 9 euro.
