hi guys! i see a lot of familiar names, and a lot of new names. i used to be a pretty active member on this forum back in 2007, when i kept mantids. i got burnt out from keeping way too many, so i stopped keeping them. i'm thinking about keeping them again, mostly to photograph them.

i finally got around to doing a few "photoshoots" with my mantids. i'm still a newbie to SLR and macro photography so i'm learning as i go but i aspire to reach igor siwanowicz's level one day. more to come soon! d. lobata p. peruviana
