More hatchling so more photos 
The Hestiasula wuyishana ooth from Luke hatched. Beautiful nymphs that appear to be bigger than H. brunneirana at hatchling.
A day later
Stagmomantis carolina ooth finally hatched after a 6-week over winter + 5 week 70-90F temp.
Miomantis sp. from Congo
Lens Tips: While Sigma 150 mm lens provide a better pics at a farther distance, it is heaviler than Cannon 100 mm which could be difficult to focus shooting bugs in the wild. The drawback for cannon macro lens is one needs to get pretty close to the object for a good shot but the insects might get away by then.
Flash tips: for close up shot, the top mount flash light doesn't help much. i am now considering selling the EX 580 for a lens mount flash light which provides a much better clearer pics but cost 3 times more...bummer!

Awww... thank you, Yen!Thanks all. Here is another one for you Becky
Great addition "preview" to the other pic! In the first one you posted I like his "armless" straight-jacket-like posture and the contrast between his prominent dark eyes, compared to the almost transparency of his brand new body as he waits for nature and gravity to allow the rest of him to come out. He looks so tiny and vulnerable. The picture of the moment is somehow very endearing to me. ^_^ :wub: And seeing the "moment before" picture makes the two even more so. Great captures of that little nymph! I haven't had the luck or experience yet to catch the little boogers in the act, let alone be there with my camera handy.
But one of these days....
i must have been spending too much time with my camera inside the bug room!!I haven't had the luck or experience yet to catch the little boogers in the act, let alone be there with my camera handy.
:lol: Haha!!! From listening to my husband and son talk about how much time I spend in the bug room, you'd think I would have caught them at it by now too, lol.i must have been spending too much time with my camera inside the bug room!!
