Parymenopus davisoni (yellow Orchid) new adult female

[angelofdeathzz]

Messed around with a few different camera settings(OK camera,but bad photographer, lol) to see if I could get any decent shots of her, she just molted to adult last night.

Not bad for me, but still I have no skills, just wanted to show her...

I could ad some pics to the parymenopus consolidated if anyone thinks its worth it?

Paul says it may, but mine have had high green tint all along? So I'll post some more shots in the coming days to verify.

Nice! Congrats.

Photo tip:

Try to have light coming from behind you onto the subject. When the light is behind the subject the camera will set the exposure based on the background making the subject dark.

Thanks bud, I'll do that from now on but I don't have any lighting equipment so I'll have to use Yankee ingenuity somehow.(floro bug lights?)

Great job brotha! :clap: :clap: :clap: All your males must be very happy now.

She is so pretty! Love the green! Can you get a shot of her from the top?

I always find it is easier to photograph them in direct light without a flash. For example near a lamp. Take this advice with a grain of salt though

Just meant have the sun behind you. Sunlight is free!

Uh oh, you're gonna get it now!

Back on topic, good job with your American INGENUITY (hah, fleurdejoo) in raising these mantises. A stunning species, and I can't wait until these are as available as ghosts!
