I finally got my new camera...now I figure out I need a tripod

That's a really sweet pic, though, man. What kind of camera is it and is it a Christmas present?

 

[The_Asa]

Thanks. It's a Canon S5 IS. It was kind of a Christmas gift to myself actually

 

[The_Asa]

I think these are African??

Congratulations on getting your new camera, Asa! I'm really happy for you, as I know you'd been missing your old one and not being able to take any pics of your little ones. Looks like you got a pretty good one.

Hey, but what did you do to the little guy in the first pic of your last post? He looks VERY annoyed! :lol:

Those do appear to be african mantids, one of my favs. Nice pics.

Thanks Rick for the positive id and Katnapper, I had the lens pretty close to the mantis and just as I took the shot she looked at something else...and it came out like that. She does look a bit mad :lol:

Yep, the top pic looks just like my Africans.
