yen saw those are great photos. they may not be professional but there are already very professional, glossy photos of mantids out there, we dont really need more in my opinion (theyre welcome though obviously). i much prefer these kinds of pictures, they just seem to be more personal, more practical if you like. i think theyre great
EDIT: yeh i agree with jay, thats something i forgot to mention, i find it very interesting seeing peoples setups aswell as the actual mantids, and something which you dont really get with the "professional" glossy photos.
