Mantis photos

[maybon]

So for my website http://melbournemantids.com I have now got a few exotic species care sheets on there and plan to get a bunch more. I am unable to get any photos myself as all of the species on the exotic list are illegal to import into Australia. It would be extremely awesome if you guys could help me out with the photos I need, I made a list of all the photos I need to make it simple. If you would like to let me use any of your photos instead of posting here I would be happy to scan through your photobucket or posts on this forum for the stuff I need.

I will credit all photos on the website with "photo by "username on forum" or specific name if requested (or any other request for that matter). I really would like these photos but need a bit of generosity from some people here with awesome shots of some of the exotic species.

Cheers everyone.

Thanks again everyone who is being supportive
