And the lucky guy, at least i'm hoping he will get lucky, that female seems to eat any thing that moves, have seen her holding 2x locusts the same size as her before.

Nice green ghostie! LOL Thanks for sharing your pics. I hope to have a couple of adults like that soon! :)

 
Thanks all

Feel like i am finally getting to grips with my camera after having it for three years, more and more shots i take are right first time.

[Original Post Edited]

Have added a shot of one of my flower mantis that should be mated before the end of the weekend, with some luck my first ooth is becoming a real possibility.

Shameless bump?

well not really have just added to my original post a pic of the male creobroter gemmatus, hoping to try and get them to breed, but they are both a very cautious when i am in the room and i am having trouble getting her eating in a place that i can safely introduce him to her. And with kittens arriving today using the lounge to pair them up is going to be out of the question. Ah well if i manage i'm sure it will be worth the hassle in the long run.

Any idea why when ever you walk in on a female you want to breed feeding she is always just finishing off the last mouthful?
