Calling behaviour

 

[Malakyoma]

Thats both a good example and a good shot of calling behaviour. some mantids are more subtle about it than others, but that clearly shows what to watch for. I like the pictures

 

[Reptiliatus]

Love the shot of the shield mantis.

 

[hibiscusmile]

Yea, I t was a long time before I saw that behavior, never notice it at first.

 

[sally]

I love all the pictures. I am really excited to see such beautiful mantids and of course photos.

Stagmomantis californica L1

Glad they hatched!! They look just like Alex's nymphs. Don't mist them too much. I only mist mine every 3 days or so.
