I may just be over worried because I've lost quite a few of my guys over the last several weeks, but my two ghost mantises haven't molted in a bit over a month. It seems like all their previous molts happened a bit faster. Am I just being paranoid? I mist them twice daily, and they are kept at...

I will see if I can get some of those berry plants, I'm sure someone around here has some. He seemed to become more active as soon a I put some fresh oak in this morning. He's definitely not small though, from what I understand about them he is full grown. (about 3 1/2 to 4inches) I'm hoping he...

Hey all- I haven't posted in a while, but I was hoping I could get some help with a recently captured Megaphasma dentricus, or at least that is what I'm almost sure he is by all the discriptions I have seen, and the locations they are known to be found. (I will have some photos to update the...

Well my first wild collected ooth has started to hatch, and from what I've been told and what the nymphs look like I'm pretty sure they are Stagmomantis carolina :D here is the first one, he didnt make it because something was wrong with his back legs Anyway, the odd thing is, and it may...

Oh, wow that's amazing! Congrats!

Thought I would share some Macro shots I took while my Boxer mantises were breeding. Hopefully no one minds the anatomical close-ups. Unfortunately the male and female both died not too soon after the mating. wrong way! I don't think shes happy about that.. they stayed...

Just got done with a big move and I have been away from the forum too long! I miss reading all the threads, and seeing all the cool pics! Here are a few new pictures from me. Well hopefully more to come now that I'm settled into the new house. Unfortunately not all my mantises...

Figured I'd add some more pics here instead of starting a new thread. I went to visit the great Yen today and all his mantises and we got to have a great photo session! Thanks again Yen! :D Well hope you like them! Man I'm excited about this lens, hopefully soon I'll get to try...

Man look at him go, that little guy sure did take that cricket down. I think I may try some tiny crickets with some of my smaller mantises now.

Oh my, that is just way too cute! She is going to have the coolest V-day cards ever. Also Krissim Klaw> that is so cute, is that vector? I swear I've seen your art somewhere before- do you have a site?

I was also at the event! Thanks again Yen for giving me a heads up and inviting me to come! It was so amazing to get to go through and enjoy looking at TAMU's immense collection as well as getting to meet people with such varied disciplines within entomology! Here are some pictures I got...

Haha! Thanks >.< I thought about entering but I didn't want to be a jerk, since I'm so new to the forum, and enter a contest right off like that.

I am addicted to taking photos, sorry if I post a lot here! >.< Well here are some random pics of my newest additions, and some of my others as well. Thanks for looking! Also thank you Yen!!

I found this little guy dead in the bottom of his tank after what I'm guessing was a bad molt. Its difficult to see but this guy has a large cyst on his eye. I misted him and he didn't have any food in his tank so I'm not sure what went wrong, just thought I'd share.

Those photos are just amazing, it is great to see so may beautiful and unusual species!

Well I have a Canon 20D now and I am floating between getting a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM and shopping for a cheap lighting rig or get the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L USM and a Canon MT-24 EX Macro Twin Lite Flash. I've also heared that a bracket mounted flash can be just fine as well, although...
