Thanks a lot everyone!!

It took a fair number of attempts to get complete stacks without movement, but I doubt that it would even have been possible with this species when they were younger. The odd thing is that the Creobroter pictipennis mantids which I have seem to be showing the opposite tendency ... a lot more movement as they grow.

your photography makes me ugly cry, it's so beautiful. The colors you get with your lighting set-ups is unreal; amazing.

Real talk, tho. This little dude's antennae makes me hungry for gummy worms...

LOL... I agree
