ABbuggin may I have permission to use some of your gorgeous photos as references for some artwork I would like to do? I am designing a Luna moth tattoo for myself (including other Actias species) and my photos I've taken are very limited. I will let you known which I use and for what purpose I...

Sorry for the delay, my laptop's fan stopped working and it took me nearly a week to get my old PC up and running with internet. I didn't measure but she was about as long as my forefinger I want to say.. 2-2.5"?

Thanks everyone! Rick I am aware of Henderson but never went aroundabout that way. :P

Thanks everyone--I am using a Canon 40D and either 28-135mm or 50mm f/1.8 lens.

Thanks! Er, I completely forget..the Black Widow and other spider were taken n 2007 or 2008 I think but I'm pretty sure my ISO wasn't over 400 for either. The Luna moth looks a bit grainy so I probably flipped up to 800+ ISO because it was night and I didn't want to turn ALL my room lights on...

Thanks everyone! I hope they do hatch, it's right within view of my bedroom's sliding glass door so I can keep an eye on it. I'm totally going to go mantis-hunting at some point now that I'm more aware of where to look. :D When I went hunting for bugs to feed the one I caught I managed to...

Canon 40D and either the 28-135mm or 50mm f/1.8

This Black Widow inhabited my old workplace..we never did find it after I took this photo. Various spiders in North Carolina.

First are my favorites..Luna moths! I have not seen a Luna moth in probably a good 5-10 years and earlier this summer I was lucky enough to have one on my screen door. My boyfriend took it in for me to photograph before we released it back into the woods. I was ridiculously excited about...

Small world! May I ask what high school? I attended Villa Madonna Academy in Villa Hills, right near the Ohio River. My family lived in Ft. Mitchell and I had an apartment in Florence for a while.

Right above this is the deck next to the woods and has a huge potted plant that attracts a lot of bugs and below it is a sheltered area under the deck that leads right into the woods as well. I might replace the tack on the right because it looks like it will get in the way of hatching..perhaps...

Found some more, I've also got more feeding photos too. They appear so curious! She followed me around a bit.

Birmingham. I was raised in KY and since I was 19 or so I've moved around a lot, spent 2 years in North Carolina and a few weeks in Johnson City, TN before coming here. I like it here except that the winters are too mild (I miss snow) but I hope I don't move anytime soon.

Awesome, I appreciate it very much! I'll go hang them today and hopefully when winter is through I can see some baby mantis in the yard.

I hope it is OK to re-post some photos from my thread in a different section of the forum. I found a mantis in the yard and brought it inside where it laid an ooth (am I using the term properly?). I let her go because I just don't have the supplies to care for a mantis and there's no point in...

Thank you! I read the "caring for/hatching ooths" thread a few times now and it seems more geared towards people raising their own so I didn't know if I could still glue it outside or what. I'll find a nice spot outside, I don't have a glue gun or money for one but I do have tacks... would it...

A few days ago I found a fat green mantis and figured out it was an S. Carolina species...I think. (I'm in Alabama) I brought it in because it was chilly and put it in a tupperware...I left for a bit and came back and it was laying eggs on the lid of my container! I felt bad because I didn't...

Hey, name is Sabarika. I'm 23, live in AL and I'm not a huge bug lover but I find some invertebrates fascinating..mantids included. :3
