I've seen some of all species do this and then they don't do it from molt to molt. It appears kinda random...

I'm thinking meth addiction :rolleyes: welcome back Sparky! I'm loving the Shield mantis right now, but don't think any new species have been largely introduced since you left.

It just happens...sorry :(

Gongylus Gongylodes

Thanks Rick for the positive id and Katnapper, I had the lens pretty close to the mantis and just as I took the shot she looked at something else...and it came out like that. She does look a bit mad :lol:

I think these are African??

I know, it would be awesome to have even a stickie with the names of species next to a couple pictures showing key identification areas.

They both look like Budwing

Thanks. It's a Canon S5 IS. It was kind of a Christmas gift to myself actually :P

He should be fine. As Phillin Yuma suggested, if you ever get really desperate you can try to feed him honey. They'll also accept various forms of meat, chicken, hamburger etc.

I finally got my new camera...now I figure out I need a tripod :rolleyes:

Merry Christmas! Which Bible compilation is that?

Merry early Christmas!

Wow, both incredible! But I'm useless as to identifying them.

I know an excess of it will, one reason why it is better to use distilled water to mist them with... but I doubt it would kill the mantis.

Too late!

Maybe it will keep you on the forum a bit more :P nah just teasing. Can't wait to see more!

Don't know about Vietnam but there are many people even here in the U.S. who believe that killing mantids are illegal here, while that's not exactly true. It's possible that your friends are mistaken. However I won't say anything definite until I see some sources.

Don't be modest, the first one is pretty darn good

lol, looks just like the African mantis you sent me Rebecca!
