me and my cat

ah i take it its true then..oh well..i tried :rolleyes:

where having a hot discussion over the chameleon forum..people think its ok to feed there chameleons mantids because you cant buy captive bred locust in the us and the ones in the wild have pesticides on..so i was thinking..this cant be true..so i came over here hoping one of you can direct me...

this is the only one i have.i dont like having my pic taken:)

u got any pics of the bugs u have found?

ring flash arnt any good unless they have ratio control on them.dont bother with the cheap ring lights unless you want flat even lighting with no shadows as they havent got settings on them to change the ratio controll.Thats why i like the canons mt-24ex twin light so much.you can change each...

yep..you need your 580ex?i keep forgetting the names..any way,you need to get your flash right up close againts your lens..bracket wold be good..i also need one..thats how i get alot of my black images.alot of the time im holding a small stick with my left hand which the mantis is on and my...

3-5 years for a yemen

the hole point of having low iso(100) the highest shutter speed pos(200 with the flash sync) and f/22 would mean almost 0 light is hitting the senser..yer the subject would be dark..thats why your going to use flash. :) let me know how it turns out.

thanks yen

LOL :lol:

update.i manged to get hold of some nympths(not from graham) and the female has been mated.her 1st ooth wa laid 19 days ago,she also laid another one yesterday..fingers crossed i have more luck this time as there is a big demand for this species in the uk.

it his her baby..the nymph come from the adult female.

nah she was egg bound and wasnt hungry..+ the mantis was to small for her to go for.She liked to eat adult locust..any thing smaller than blue bottle flies she wouldn't go for.I didnt mind risking 1 just for the image any way as i had 100s at the time..gladly nothing happened tho:)

thats right..much more common in the uk tho http://www.flickr.com/photos/hooked_on_mac...57603192661926/

"Mummy.am i going to look like you when im older"? Adult and 2nd instar Giant Malaysian Shield Mantis - Rhombodera basalis and no she didnt eat him. :)

i use them all the time and never have any mantids slip during shedding

good idea.a diffused flash is what your need..shooting at 1:1 above to get the settings you want ie iso 100 to get the most detail around f/11.when you start going above 1:1 theres so little light hitting the sensor that the only way to get good sharp shots is with a flash. All Canon gear -...

only bluebottle flies fed on honey and when i can be bothered dusted with pollen.it lived in those 1ftx1ft net cages you sale.i even mated it again to try and make it lay but no such luck...

why has this happened,any idea?
