Lol, when I didn't scroll down all of the way for the first pic and only saw the wood, I was like, uhhh....poor macro junkie; he got a horrible mismoulted mantis that fell in the dirt or something. I guess that's what I get for sleeping in on the weekends and just waking up now.
Anyways, she's pretty....I just hate when adult, they sometimes turn brownish.

Most pics don't do justice to the mantis at all. They're just too pretty!
Aw, thanks.
I probably will be interested in them also. Haha, one can never have too many mantids, aye?My orchids are fine, my female molted into a subadult and my male is gearing up for his molt to adult. I hope my female makes it in time before he ages too much. It was too late when I realized my male was at subadult and I can't really do anything now.
