Are there any bug shows in the U.S.? Can someone post a link? Hilly

A p&s is a point & shoot type camera.

Very nice. Thanks for posting these. Hilly

Very nice pics. Nice and sharp, good colors. Please keep on posting them! I'm assuming your camera is a p&S? Your pics would benefit loads if you had some kind of flash diffuser so the light doesn't seem quite so harsh. Try taping a couple layers of white tissue over your flash, and see if...

Very nice photos. Thanks for posting. Hilly

Maybe a 350XT? The 300D's are much more reasonable now. You can get a good used one for under $500 with lens. Awesome camera! Have a nice day, Hilly

Thanks for posting these. I love good photography, and your photos are some of the best I have seen of mantids. Have a good day! Hilly

Thanks for posting the photos. It took me a while to figure out who was who, and what was what, but I finally got it - the pics were pretty dark. Although your photos are really nice and sharp and the colors are superb, but could benefit from a little flash, or stronger lighting of sorts :idea...

If I were to hatch an ooth, and I got 200 babies, how many ff cultures do you think I would go through until they were capable of eating larger food items? Any ideas on what age this would occur at? I'm not sure how often young mantids molt. Just generally speaking, of course. Hilly

Found this gallery with some funny, if not unique photos. Thought I'd share. Sorry if this has been posted here before? http://www.pbase.com/erichmangl/mantis Hilly

FINALLY! Someone more twisted than Me! :lol:

I wouldn't want to be eaten by a spider, either. The poison they inject with those fangs liquifies the prey so they can just suck it up. It would be like getting injected with acid or something. Imagine how that would feel! Yep, life is good at the top of the food chain.... :wink: Someone...

Doesn't bother me in the least to see a mantis eat a bug, but it did bother me to see that mantis chew on that mouse. And I'm still glad people are BIG. :lol: So Samzo, what kinds of stuff creep you out? Hilly

Heh. The phrase "Bite me!" takes on a whole new meaning! :lol:

I'm not afraid of getting attacked by a mantis or any other animal. I just said it creeped me out seeing that video. The way in which a mantis kills (or should I say DOESN'T kill it's prey is what creeps me out). I'm just happy that people are BIG :D Have a nice day. Hilly

I guess it was the visciousness of the mantises attack on the mouse. It really creeped me out :( I also have a few more thoughts on this, but won't post them here. Have a nice day. Hilly

I'll say. I was planning on buying my first mantids till I saw this. Don't know if I will now. Hilly

I really enjoy macro photography! I like looking at macros, and I like taking macros! I have a Canon 300D and I use a 420EX speedlight, and a Sigma 105mm macro lens. My macro gallery can be seen here: http://www.pbase.com/justpeachy/macro_shots Can't wait to get a few mantids so I can add...

This is probably compairing apples to oranges, but take for example a crocodile nest: If the temps inside the nest are above a certain temp, you get only one gender of babies. If the temp goes below a certain point inside the nest, you get babies of only the opposite gender. I don't see why...

Your classified add in the mantid forum says to email you if interested, but your profile does't show your email address :( . Please show your email address in your profile, or email me. I'd like to discuss your available mantid nymphs. Thanks, Hilly
