Greeting to you all from the MichiganMantisGuy!

[MichiganMantisGuy14]

Hello everyone,

i have been knee deep in Mantis for the past 5years, and loving every moment of it...

for the most part I'm a plant guy: Orchids, Tropicals & Bonsai, like cloning and propagating.

In the past a had other photographers take pics of my mantis i raise, but recently i bought my own camera setup so i can do it myself in half the time and less the hassle...

With the pics of the Mantis i raise, make t`shirts, Calendars, photo books etc etc. Mainly just to sell & get money to buy more Mantis! i want more i want more… LOL.

this is Suki a Texas Unicorn mantis i had 1 1/2 years ago, she was originaly from Peter Clausen as an L3 nymph.

Thats it for now i guess, Cheers' Stay Calm & Love Manits...

[Digger]

Great capture and lighting. Take more !

 

[MichiganMantisGuy14]

Hey Digger' thanks for the admiration...

But I didn't take the pic, I had hired a photographer last year to do pics for all the mantis I'm raising. Ofcourse the person turned out to be greedy?

So he was fired and I bought my own Macro camera set-up last month.?

Just fine tuning a few things on it but I should be turning out same quality pics very soon. Just in time for my large Idolo mantis order to come in next month! So Excited...???

 

[hibiscusmile]

Yes, a lot of amature want a be's think a gentlemans agreement is not legal, where as in the courts thankfully today even they are upheld! A handshake is still what it was millions.. . LOL of years ago. Just because someone hangs a shingle up does not mean they are a professional. A professional realizes his talent and respects the customer and his goods.

Welcome! and thats a beautiful mantis!
