Beautiful photos. This is one of my favorite mantids, yet to own any, I look forward to it though

Yeah, I agree with mantisnation, they are pretty cool looking. I would have to say the adult stage is more fascinating looking the the earlier stages. Anyway great images! Keep snapping.

ya, i am excited for them to become adults, they are one of the best i have for pictures, they are very photogenic and they seem to like it the most. (popa's very good too) lighter colors and a jumpy nature makes for a tough time.(which include most flower varieties,my favorites!) someday i will try some dead leaf's. and see how they are.
