    Toxodera - dragon mantis from South East Asia

    Wow, one of the best camouflages I've ever seen in the animal kingdom. It took me a few seconds to make out what body part was which in some of the pictures. I can usually tell right off the bat with other insects. Astounding, thanks for sharing.

    Need Macro Photography advice and insect ID

    These photos were taken with a Nikon D5500 with AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm lens with wide-lens macro attachment though it is not an actual macro lens. I was wondering if there are any macro professionals out there that could give me a little advice when taking macro photos. Also I need some...

    My black morph Eastern Lubbers

    I actually live in Texas now, but that may be a reason why it was so hard for me to obtain them. I have no interests in circkets or grasshoppers, but there's something about the Lubbers that gets me.

    My black morph Eastern Lubbers

    Where did you get these? I've been trying to get a hold of these for a few years now and eventually gave up because I thought they were just non-existent to the hobby.

    Vivarium upgrade

    I bought them like that. I have no idea how they got them to bloom. I'm thinking of using different types of moss and see which one grows best. The stores and local nursery I've checked carry large broms only. The one in the picture is actually the smallest I've found. I'll keep checking though.

    If you could find someone who sells for less $25 please let me know. I haven't seen any imitator go under $50. When I said pair I didn't mean 'breeding pair' just 2, sorry for the misunderstanding. I did want to put more broms in there especially Neoregelia, but wasn't sure if it was getting...

    Anybody know where I can find this?
