Great pics, as usual. Sorry the cone thing didn't work, but it's hilarious. Have to chuckle at that one. You so crazy girl!

Here are a couple of Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii girlie threat poses.

Very cool. They do get scared easy, don't they?

Yes, I'd say they have attitude. Some more than others, hehe.

On the subject of Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii, here's a couple baby pics.

I have some new ones, but these were babies (L1) in August. Guess I forgot to add the date to the pics like I was doing. Will have to fix that! Thanks for reminding me.

I really like those last few.

 

[Anleoflippy]

Really loved you Pictures

And speaking of cute little baby mantids... here's an unfortunate little guy who had his back walking legs stuck together after he exited the ooth. I performed the necessary surgery with tweezers and a needle, but he was weak and only lived 2 days.

Oh my, Emile... how do you find these crazy videos? hehe

I could do far worse . Which would make most scream, and make Deadinthebasement have a big smile.

Adult female Stagmomantis carolina (October 2009)

 

[Mantibama]

The wings on your female S. carolina are an exquisite pattern. I really enjoy all your photos though!!!!

 

[kamakiri]

Yeah, nice pattern on that carolina!

 

[RNW]

amazing picture!!!

 

[Rick]

Interesting colors on her. I don't recall seeing a female with the greenish legs. These really seem to vary based on region.

 

[Katnapper]

Thank you, everyone!

Here is a better pic of her wing pattern. I think it's pretty cool too. It almost seems to have an aqua tint in the green portions of the camoflaged pattern on the overwings, and a more true greenish hue in the pattern on the underwings. (Click for full size to see difference in hues better).

 

[revmdn]

Very nice.
