Some interesting looking mantises. Before this forum I never realized just how many species of mantids there are. They are all so unique. Some of them must be rather difficult to care for though tool I am lucky that the ones I have are so easily kept and maintained. Now all I've gotta do is figure out how to take decent pictures of them! LOL Good luck with all of your various species of mantids! ;)

 
Nice, Sally! I really like the little one flipping you off! :) And that first pic's adorable too, with the little Chinese peaking over your hand.

I want to make a thread like this someday, but I've only got two mantids right now... Anyway, looking forward to additions to your photo collection!
