Yeah Kev lol. It seriously looks similar to Leptomantella sp.

 

[yen_saw]

Thanks Paul

I agree Kev that is one Halloween pic :lol: here are few more sinistic Sinomantis pics

Shaik that's right i thought it was Leptomantella sp at first but this species has more tibia spine counts than Leptomantella and the ootheca of this species looks like banana unlike the Lepomantella. Is amazing that they are not even in the same genus despite the similar appearance.

Interesting species.

[yen_saw]

Thanks guys. All those babies are really small, i am getting cross eye after every photo session with these little creasure :blink:

Yeah Tanner, it was using maual focus but did a poor job on focusing there

I usually just set the amount of magnification I want and leave it be. moving the camera back and forth until I get it right. Than take the picture. But hey thats just me

Quick side note, it seems photobucket is horribly compressing your images. I suggest creating a flickr account. Its free, and they keep the image quality high.

Also, Yen when the weather is better I would LOVE to see a picture of one of your nymphs outside It will make the shots instantly better I guarantee it :mellow: :lol:
