Dead Leaf Patterns - Large Pics Dial up beware

[Rib]

I took a couple of pictures today and was amazed at some of the detail nature has given these species of Mantis. I know there are some far more exotic ones out there and was hoping people could share theirs. Im amazed at some of the patterns that cover Mantis bodies. For example I've had these Dead leaf since they were L2, and I've only just noticed the leapord pattern on their underside

This species is so fascinating, I hope to get them some day, I just don't have the funding for them now. (plus I don't know anyone with any available)
