My name is Leigh Anne DelRay and I am a photographer that lives in the deserts of Tucson Arizona.

I have a few different pets, 3 tortoise (1 leopard, 2 (local Sonoran) Desert Tortoise), 3 Tarantulas, 1 Arizona Bark Scorpion, 2 Dogs, 2 Cats, and soon more praying mantis.

I had at one time 6 as a pet, but they don't live terribly long, as you all know.

But I do love watching them and photographing them, especially wither super tiny objects that I have collected over the years (usually meant for train sets).

I guess that is about it eh?

Nice meeting all of you..

:D

here are some photos of my babies. (RIP some of them)

Enjoy..

This was a very very small Spiny Flower Nymph and an even smaller Rabbi.. (not photo-shopped)

And although this is not really mantid-related, I still think they are pretty funny. I bought these little terrified people and put them in with my Trinidad Chevron. It was pretty funny..

Those are great! I have a bunch of N - scale railroad people and bikes and stuff - I just may be inspired to make some scenes like yours. Welcome from Los Angeles.
