The colors were already like this when I took the pic, btw this is the male. I obviously cropped a bit and enhanced backround colors, sharpened the pic a bit, and brightened it up just a tad. But it's mostly natural.
Did you photoshop this picture? Your ghost looks here more alien.

I just did a MASSIVE photo shoot of my male ghost (he has the best colors.) Btw, the pics below are completely raw and un-edited. Meaning I havenāt changed what the look like AT ALL! Also, I really like the bright backgrounds, do you guys? (Please do not use any photos in this journal without my permission)Ā
Next pic is a super macro of the eye.
I donāt want people thinking that all the pics I take are good, because that would be a lie. I take tons of bad pics! This for example:
My good pic to bad pic ratio is depressing, so donāt worry lol.
@PrayingmantisqueenĀ you asked me for a pic for the front cover, would any of these work? You can use any of them for your book. Just credit me as Shaheer Fahad.

@GracefaceĀ here are the Spiny Flower pictures you requested. These are by far some of the worst photos Iāve token, and Iām pretty embarrassed about itĀ 
. To my defense, these little dudes are L2 and CRAZY tiny, did I mention fast and jumpy too? They will not hold still for a pic. 
Sorry.
Ā
Also, my Creobroter (Gemmatus?) L3-4.Ā
Ā
Ā
And, I have two G. Amoena ooths in incubation, here is a pic of them and their setup.

Nice pics, they aren't so bad. Mine are worse. Now i want creos again. I never got a good close up of mine.
I'm getting rid of a lot of my mantids and ooths, trading them for tarantulas. I'm only keeping a P. Paradoxa Ooth, a Ghost female and male Ā Ā . (L5) A female and male Sphodoromantis linolea, and maybe my giant Asian L6. I need to make room for my new tarantulas...

Around five or so. But at least two for sure. The other three I'm still negotiating a trade for mantids with the guy.
