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

 
Congratulations on getting your new camera, Asa! :D 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? :eek: 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:
