How cute! Tammy, do u notice that macro shots turn out better when the tripod holds the camera high above the subject and point it down towards it? I noticed this when i photograph my mantises :)

 
"I debated whether to flip the Idolo and Ghost nymphs as I've only photographed them when they are hanging."

I like the natural upside down pose, as that is just the way it is with them. :p

 
L1 nymphs are so actives, as childern I think :p , your pictures are so great, I think you need some L1 Coronatus :D . Thanks for sharing

now the challenge is to get them all in one pic without anyone eating or lost :tt2:

 
I just added an L1 Texas Unicorn to my images above. My first Texas Unicorn ooth hatched this morning. Yeah! I'll count the babies when I transfer them to their new home. I think there are at least 30.

 
how long was the incubation of the texicorns? what conditions was it kept at? im sittin on an ooth and it would be nice to know. thanks!
