The new babies!

They have speckled bum bums!

The growing babies!

I love the markings running down their back

And the newly subadult Creobroter whom I have thoroughly fallen in love with

I love these little baby wings! They're so precious!

The red eyes of the shields are just awesome. You really do like them Creobroters! I had an adult female die on me for no reason, so very sad.

 

[LauraMG]

what species of Creobroter?

The ones on top are creobroter nebulosa and the subadult is creobroter gemmatus.

My Creos are leeetle still.

I have two now also.. one from Yen , a Neb I guess and the other from Rebecca.. Not sure what kind!

Neat lil creatures though.

Nice shields too! they grow up so fast!

 

[LauraMG]

Nice shields too! they grow up so fast!

They're still so tiny! You can see how small they are in the shot of the one on my thumb. That one is only L3! And we have Creobroter siblings! I got the new ones from Yen and my subadult from Rebecca! I love their striped little bodies!

Here's a couple more pictures.

My speed racer Manny the stagmomantis carolina. He takes off running every time I let him out!

It relaxes him to be upside down. It's the only way I get him to stop running.

Nice little Stag. I'm really started to like those subspecies.

My adult Magna male likes to fly and run around too so when I let him out I have to move very slow. When I think he's about to fly I turn him upside down like you have here and he relaxes a bit. Can't make a clean takeoff upside down I guess.

I love my Stagmomantis, he was my most active mantid, he got calmer with each molt. As an adult it took him a while to begin flying more than a couple of feet, but now he flies to anything that moves, like me or the kid. :lol: He seems very good at landing safely and gracefully, not like some clumsy pet birds that I have had. At first I was afraid that he would crash land into something, but he is good. I still turn off the fans and close the blinds before having him out, for safety reasons. :lol:

Really? Yen included one of those with the c. nebulosus I bought from him, but it died

I was thinking about getting another

Love the lighting in the photos of Manny!
