I've been regularly updating and posting new pics in my Blog. Besides jotting down my progress with the mantids, I'm placing the majority of my photos in there as a running pictoral record. As I'm not posting them in the Mantid Photos forum section where everyone goes, I thought I'd give a "heads up" here so you know and can please come look. 
I hope you'll visit from time to time, if nothing else to see the new pics. You don't even have to read it, lol! I've gotten some interesting shots. And there are some I'm rather proud of, even if I don't have the whole macro photography thing completely down yet. I'd also be very appreciative of any comments or feedback, either here or there. I've found that commenting in someone's Blog is very much like posting in the regular forum, just in a different section.
Here's a preview of a few pics I've added recently. Clicking on my signature picture at the end of my posts will take you to my Blog to see more. Or you can get there from a link in my profile, or find me in the "Blogs" section. And if you do visit, I'd love to know that you did!
PS... Photos best viewed full size. Click on them once, and then again in the new window to get the full effect.
This one seems kind of romantic to me... :wub: C. gemmatus L3 nymph
Here's a good view of Superman's crest at L5. I love how it's so tall and craggy! Phyllocrania paradoxa male
The nymphs look so darn cute when viewed with the naked eye... and so much more vicious when viewed up close! (This one's a "must see" full size!) Tenodera sinensis L3 nymph
My handsome Rhombodera basilis male waiting and posing for his girlfriends!
Ever seen a shed skin up close? This one's a close-up of the shed sub-adult skin of the R. basilis above.
H. membranacea (Giant Asian) L5 nymph dining on a mis-molted Rhombodera (Shield) nymph
More in Blog... And thank you very much for looking.
