LOL at the discussion about the last pic, hehe. I think she looks grumpy too.

He'd better watch himself!

I enjoyed the pics, Damian!

I especially liked the ones of all the P. paradoxa hanging out on the bin together.

[warpdrive]

nice collection.

maybe someone like you can do a nice walk through as to how you pin them so they can be framed like that. it would be something I would like to do someday.

Nice collection! I've dried only one mantis, and she got very dark and lost most of her color. You did a great job!

 

[animalexplorer]

Very nice collection, well done! I would also be very interested in yor pinning technique as I have never done it.

 

[leviatan]

haha you want to know my method? ...

If I tell you, I will kill you all joke

I'm using the easiest method that exist in bug world. I'm taking dead mantid, pinned legs, forearm, head, wings (sometimes) etc. Then I put this pinned mantid on bookshelf and I forget about it for few weeks Later I taking this dry mantid to my collection. That's all.
