Sibylla pretiosa L2-L3 (video)

[Precarious]

Should be called the mosquito mantis! These things are completely unmanageable. They are all over the place and refuse to sit still. Very skittish.

A shot of L2 jumping about 1:06 in.

Music by Precarious :walkman:

My goodness! They are twitchy little things! Between the antenna and the music I think I had a seizure! :lol:

Wow, yours are way more calm than mine were/are (adults)!

Despite that, this gives you guys a sense as to why I have almost 0 images of this species.

Very cool.. sounds like these guys run around all day all night?

They chilled out a bit after I let them run amuck for a while. I still had to edit out a lot of blurry running around. I can't even imagine trying to take a still photo - especially multiples for stacking!

They could use some Ritalin. That's for sure.
