Very nice presentation, it looks like you did very well! All the natural light probable helped the live exhibits be a little active and not just sit there? I don't see my ooth pic in any of the shots, but I'm sure it's in there somewhere(or it got the axe, Haha)...

Wish I could of got down there to see it all )-:

What's that great looking book with the mantid guarding its ootheca in a threat display (staged?)?

It's a 1984 National Geographic.

Chinese and two Europeans

One of them was in my presentation.

Local news pics. I got four out of the 40 pics she took. She didn't really capture the event well.

I probably am compared to most members here, maybe I don't look it. I'm 34. So yeah, old.

Puh-lease, 34 is NOT old! I think I just thought you were much older because you are so knowledgeable. But then again, I am also surprised when people on the forum are super knowledgeable and write well and then I find they are only 13 years old or so. Lots of intelligent people here!

Same one Orin asked about. It is a Feb. 1984 National Geographic magazine. Decent article on mantids. I remember reading it multiple times when I was a kid.
