what's a better way to end a posting hiatus than to post some recent mantis pics!! all taken this morning
first off is an L4 male majuscula
L1 hierodula bipapila, recently hatched
a nice shot of an idolo
and finally, for now, a demonstration with a creobroter pictipennis ooth
u can see the "eyes" of the developing babies through the ooth
heres some arrows to aid
and a circle to help further
and dont complain "agent a that's not a circle", because this is mantidforum, not geometry class :tt2:
enjoy!
