Yellow & Pink Orchids

[Precarious]

Beautiful videos, really ! <3

Two questions :

- What did you use to film them ?

- What is the metallic object you use to catch the fly to feed the mantis ? I ask because something might be helpful for me, I can't touch a cricket with fingers ans actually I use a small wood stake (those used for orchids, the plant) and sometimes I have to wait like ten minutes befor a cricket will climb the stake. So if you a more handy ways, my ears are fully open ^^

Thank you ^^

Canon HFS200 camcorder with Opteka 10x Macro Lens. The lighting is just as important.

I use a long pair of tweezer/tongs to feed them insects (something like this) because if you do it by hand they are more distracted by the giant hand than the tiny feeder. They are 10" long so they come in handy for all kinds of things.
