reptile photographer looking for adult mantids

[Fineartanimals]

Hi guys I'm a photographer that specializes in shooting reptiles on black glass. I kept mantids in college including species like Ghosts and Spiny Flowers. I have only photographed one mantis on black glass to date but am looking to purchase adult mantids to photograph in my studio. To be clear I'm not interested in promoting my reptile work on here, just providing these images and my IG to show mantid breeders on here what I do and to find out if any would be interested in selling me adults close to the end of their life spans that I can photograph. Whenever I work with reptile stores, I always provide images from the shoot as a gift to the breeders. I know how difficult breeding mantids is due to temp and humidity requirements.  I think I'll probably have to repost this in the buying/selling forum?
