[macro junkie]

By the way, I do like Blepharopsis mendica the most. Are they hard to raise? I'm guessing probably, they are devils flower mantis only smaller, lol. Why are they smaller anyway? :lol:

Adult maleHe looks like hes going to plot an elabrete escape from the human masters prison! After he has finished his plans he will wait untill the human is asleap and bind him up with the help of all his other mantid buddys! Then he will devise some sort of potion to turn himself into a giant 50 foot beast! But since hes kinda a small sp, he only turns into the size of a giant asian! When the human master woke up this morning he easely broke though the twine and checked on his mantids. He was astonashed at how large his Blepharopsis mendica was, and it bacame a prize winning mantid, traveling all over the world!

HAPPY ENDING, THE END

For me, it is the simple Chinese Mantis (Tenodera Aridifolia Sinensis). They have stereotypical shape of what most people think of when picturing a mantis and reach a nice size as adults while still keeping a elegant lightweight feel to their bodies. Although I love all the colors they range in, my favorite coloring would be a Chinese with a rich almost golden brown that contrasts sharply with the vibrant green wing band and emerald eyes.

I think this picture says it all when it comes to the looks and feel of a Chinese Mantis- http://www.cirrusimage.com/Mantids/mantis_03.jpg
