[Mex_Ghost]

your ghost (She) looks so cool, I think that picture could be for the calendar.

Hrmph. You said "A few macros" in your subject but then you tease us with just two great pics?! Tsk tsk, I'd like at least one more to fulfill the promise.

 

[rs4guy]

Only other decent one I found, thanks for the compliments guys!!!

 

[hibiscusmile]

Gee, all it does it eat! :lol:

 

[rs4guy]

One of the hungriest males I've ever kept!

Great shots! I really like the ghost. I second it being for the calendar.

Gettin' better, man! Impressive!

 

[rs4guy]

Thanks guys! As for the red Ghost, she is like a rust color, in good lighting a redish tinge can be had.

What's the orchid munching on in that third pic? It doesn't look like a fly to me?

 

[rs4guy]

It's a leaf hopper of some kind I found out on my front stoop. It was about the size of a housefly or so....

 

[ShieldMantid1997]

i can never get mine to eat those! I'm pretty jealous.

 

[rs4guy]

I hand fed it. Key is to grab one wingcase with the tweezers, so that it flutters around and gets the mantid's attention.

 

[ShieldMantid1997]

ahhhh good idea. I'll have to try it.
