Chinese or European–looking for at least one

I’ve been out of the loop for a while, and now I’m not sure where too look anymore. PM me if you have some. I’m in Wisconsin 

Sometimes USPS drops the ball near Christmas, and what should be 2-day shipping turns into 7 or 8! But Yen packages well, of course. Bought 3 mantids and wound up with 5 that, amazingly, are all perfectly fine now. ^__^

I haven't seen many posts about people having these in a while. One of my favorites that I've kept. I'm in Wisconsin. Lmk if you have some nymphs. Also looking for budwings.

wow. I love how pink the eyes get on these sometimes.

Thanks Aryia! I have 3 S. Pretiosas chilling in my work cubicle eating snacks, all alive and lively. Packaging was legit. Pretty sure my coworkers think I'm nuts.

rad! I want to paint some of these.

beautiful! I had a budwing that I noticed this with. His eyes turned a beautiful pink at night.

I'm glad! Your photos are great and capture their amazing anatomy. Thanks, everyone. Such fun subjects.

thanks!

Here are a couple paintings I've done recently using Precarious' stuff as reference photos. I had an art show last night, and they were a big hit (sold one already). Wanted to share. Thanks for looking. B)

while we're on the topic, I haven't been on here in a long time, and I'm searching for an image... can't seem to find it. it was a nice labeled illustration of facial anatomy. anyone know what i'm referring to that could help me find it? I like knowing the names of things :)
