Photos from new generation!

New born Creobroter nebulosa

L3 Gonatista grisea

Tropidomantis gressitti

Hatchling

Rhombodera (Malaysia) sp.

Finally I see the shield from this new generation. The dark band between thorax and abdomen is visible again just like the parents but expected to fade away as adult. Something not seen in Rhombodera (Indonesia) sp. batch.

Gongylus gongylodes

L2 nymphs

Great pics. I know how small the Creobroter are!

You should take a pic of a L1 Bolbena, hotentatta one day. Mind wrecking I tell you. Not easy to take a pic of a mantid the size a fruit fly that wont stay still! :wacko:

I'm happy to see pics of all the species you are breeding, Yen. And congrats especially on the breeding of the Rhombodera (Malaysia) sp.! I'm very excited to see these come into culture (and hopefully be scientifically identified, along with the previous Rhombodera sp. already in culture). Someday, hopefully!! I also see improvement in your picture taking... very nice photos.

I can imagine..... hatchling has a habit of hyperactive! never stay still for too long.
