Dead, while a more awful photo could have been made with a live pinkie that would be just awful to do.

Thanks to ghostyeahX for letting me shoot his mantises!

I'm always looking for more species to photograph, in addition to the one's I've already photographed (though I would like to revisit some species) I'm looking at the species listed bellow. Anyone have any other suggestions? They need to stand up and not sit parallel to the ground like most of the bark mantises.

Pseudoharpax Virescen

Pseudocreobotra Wahlbergi

Idolomorpha lateralis

Sinomantis denticulata

Oxypilus Distinctus

Toxodera beieri

beieri genus in general

Pogonogaster tristani

Haania sp

Schizocephala bicornis

Pyrgomantis jonesi

Cheddikulama straminea

Tropidomantis tenera

Acanthops falcata

Schizocephala bicornis

Pic # 3: oh d a m n ---- there's someone at the door. C'mon in ! I'm getting my portrait done !

Also that image shows excellent detail of her "neck." A structure you rarely get to see in detail. Great work.
