Sorry I dont know any latin names, and the first 2 of these were sold to me as Asian mantids, green mantids or some other generic name :lol:

Mileek (sorry the flash washed his colours out, this was before I got a good camera)

Buddy again, doing what she did best

Marylin the orchid, tucking into a butter worm...

...advertising for Canon..

..and after moulting with her new wings

And a little unnamed "fantasy" mantid

Thanks for looking, and feel free to give me latin names for these guys if you know them
