[Jenn]

Thank you

It's a Canon S3 IS with a Raynox DCR-250 Super macro lens.

 

[Andrew]

The one with the black head looks so evil! Like something out of gremlins or alien vs. predator!

 

[Ian]

Andrew, you're back! What an absence...

Jenn, fantastic photos you have there.

How many did you get out of the ooth?

 

[Rick]

Awesome. Not long ago my first orchid ooth hatched too.

 

[robo mantis]

Yeah my brother said get macro lenses and i was seeing what you huys were using.

 

[Jenn]

It hatched out about 100.

One of my Chinese ooths hatched the day before and there are a ton of them... I had 7 Chinese ooths two of them are going to my daughters school. Hope it doesn't hatch before i get it there...

The Raynox lens is a good one, not to expensive and it fits a lot of different cameras...

I log on every once in a while to see if there's anything interesting going on.

Glad to know they hatched out fine for you Jenn. It is possible for Orchid mantis to hatch over a period of 2-day. It is more common for me during winter, and i have few ootheca that hatched out more on the second day. So now you have 104 nymphs I will be going out of business soon

It has been cold here, but they were under a heat lamp and kept at 80. Oh well I'm really glad it happened because I got only a couple of pictures at the end of the first hatch, and they didn't come out very good...

lol. no you wont.

Thanks
