Very nice job of capturing the unequaled beauty of the Orchid mantis species. The colors are so awesome and so are the poses. Good work, Joeho, and thanks for sharing with the rest of us.

just tell them to hurry up. I already got the plants for breeding ready and some nice mini orchids for a terrarium set up for my best female.

ah, no rush. I'm broke after just paying for some rare imports yesterday.

oh, and I got to watch one of your L5 female ghosts molt into L6 at midnight. I never had a mantid molt so late at night before and it took me by suprise. I don't even know how I cought her doing it as all the lights were out and I was leaving my bedroom after feeding my crested geckos. man, she got so big. I almost thought she was molting into full adult at first. :blink:

Hahaha. I will tell my orchids to hurry up, so I can spread their minions all over the US. B) Your ghosts are molting already? Mines haven't even moved. Hopefully next week they will molt.
