Dane’s Mantids

[River Dane]

Thanks @Cole 78! I can’t see what image you’re referring to, though.

Thanks everyone! I like them all as well.

And thanks @Little Mantis! I’m so proud of her.

Here’s the promised pic of the male:

This one.

How's your Orchid girl doing? 

 

[River Dane]

@Cole 78 The camera was a Nikon D40 with a macro lens attachment. I believe it was set on Auto and the lens was 2X macro. Sorry, I’m not too familiar of the mechanics of DSLRs yet.

@Graceface Unfortunately I have pretty grim update. The male limbata was eaten by his mate, who also passed away a few weeks ago. As for the orchid female, she began refusing food and died as a result. But the truncatas are doing well, and I’m probably going to repopulate my home with mantids again soon. I’m definitely going to try orchids again, though! She was an amazing sight, and was much easier to raise than I thought she would be up until her death.

Sorry to hear about your Orchid! They are beautiful and very fun to own

Sad to read this. Sorry for your losses.

You will miss them. I bought new ones after all mine died of the sickness. I missed having mantids to care for.

I am sorry that you lost the limbatas and the orchid!
