So, I was showing my son pictures of the idolomantis diabolica, and he named it the bat mantis! :lol: It's the big shield behind the head.

Great footage Precarious! Their little camouflage appendages are just awesome!

Amazing, awesome photography! I love these videos....thank you so much for sharing! Your footage is so clear and detailed until you put your finger in their it's difficult to imagine just how small those mantids are.

Thanks!

That's why I always try to get my finger in all the videos. All the detail tricks you into thinking they're much bigger than they really are. It's pretty funny the way they just hop on board that finger too! :lol: Like a rescue ladder hanging from a helicopter.

Your camera and skills are unreal, thanks for sharing!

Might I add, if you have any L2s, those would be breathe taking! L2s show so much purple, pink and whites! No worries, the L3s are extremely gorgeous too!

Thanks, man! Agreed. L2 have been the most striking so far.

I currently have three L2s, one L3 and now one L4! The L4 just molted last night!

Wicked Wideos. Hehe

Love the intensity of the music when the flyballs are being devoured.

Keep up the good work.

I was going to make a soundtrack and ended up with four songs of an album instead! haha

3 more songs and I'll have my first all digital album..
