X-FILES: my small mantis collection.

Messing around at work I made this geometric toy mantis (rendering):

Is it a physical work, or computer animation?

Nice mantids btw! Love that dessicata male and do you have a male for that sub adult rhombo girl?

I just drew it up on a 3D design program and rendered it.

I have one adult Rhombo male that's been waiting for about 2 months and one sub-adult that should be molting in a few days. I'd really like to get these guys mated.

Its a neat design and cute! The new picture for your name will take me awhile to get used to though ....I hope you get them mated, such an awesome specie!

All the best,

Andrew

Here's my two idolos once again...they are taking FOREVER to molt. One is smaller than the other. I don't know if it's because it's a molt behind, or maybe different sex. Maybe you guys can help me sex them because I've been thinking that they're both males:

Idolo 1 (the smaller one):

and Idolo 2:

Thanks, Alex. I hope they make it to adult!!
