Murphy's Mantids

[jamurfjr]

Following the example set by some other members, I decided to start a picture thread of my own. Documenting my development/progression through the hobby may prove useful, and perhaps I'll be able to look back on this thread with a sense of accomplishment. Don't expect much in the way of photo quality because I only have a cheapie digital camera at my disposal. Hopefully, I'll be able to acquire better equipment in the near future.

Carolina nymphs from the other night's nocturnal nymphal emission! :lol:

I like turkey legs too. You're making me hungry.

...had to settle for leftover ham.

In other news: C. pictipennis ootheca hatched this morning! I estimate around 50-60 nymphs. They are so tiny that it's hard to take a decent picture with my camera.





Action shot. I think they were kung fu fighting.

The time had come to kick most of my Tenodera kids out of the nest. At least I didn't drop them off at the pool. Did my best to record the event with some pictures.

Brave New World...

I dubbed this one knight and guardian of the garden. Its job is to protect the [straw] berries...and twigs! :clown:

Now I can't get that 1970s song "everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting" out of my head !

H. multispina ootheca hatched. Produced approx. 300 nymphs. These little devils are silent but violent like something else of mine. :blink:
