I had so much spare food that I didn't want to go to waste I thought I'd better get a couple more mantids! (That's how I explained it to my missus anyway 
).
The first pic is of my first giant Asian "Gandhi" stalking a cricket (still not 100% of exact type - H. membranacea, or grandis maybe, it was sold as Indian).
Second pic is "crazy Dave" my ghost - I think she's female.
Third pic is "Jubei" the giant rainforest mantis (H.majuscula), female I think, with a dodgy back leg - looks a little shorter than the others as doesn't move too well, hopefully a good molt will sort that out.
My fascination with these beautiful creatures is growing daily!
