Just got some more photos.......

Here's 1 of my tenodera sinensis males just having finished a cricket

(I'm looking for a female tenodera around L5. If anyone has, PM me)

Here's a L2 sybilla pretiosa eating a fruit fly. This species is absolutely beautiful!

:What do you guys think of the photos??? Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Eros

Hey Ian,

Thanks. I actually got quite a few photos of the sybilla because when they eat they don't move much. I was using a Eos 1D Digital Camera. The photo's would have came out much nicer if i had set up properly and used a tripod but i just set them up on a piece of stick on the floor of my house and just shot them.

Thanks,

Eros
