Gorgeous! Probably the LEAST realistic mantid I've ever seen. Looks like it was hand painted in ceramics class!!

Outstanding!

She's a real looker indeed. I love her stripey eyes and fore-arms.

Bee-yootiful mantis! (no pun intended, since if it was a pun it would be totally irrelevant)

I have been holding back from buying any new mantids, but this might have to come to my house.

I just love your photos of both your male and female. they look so cool.
