Excellent photography here. I love the photos of your mantids. I can't wait to have one of my own!

It's looking like my Hierodula Majuscula girl is about to shed. Possibly wake up tomorrow to a bigger mantis.

Adult female Hierodula Majuscula (Giant Rainforest Mantis). Once she's had a couple of feeds I'll get some pics of her with my camera.

Handling her.

Thank you. I'm really enjoying using a proper camera and learning about it all.

Plus it really does let me see my little pets in all their glory.

I've lost my Orchid mantis. I think I went overboard with the humidity spraying most days when I've been told nymphs require a fine mist every few days. I'm absolutely gutted I let her down and the breeder who trusted me to give her a good home.

Had a play around with a pic I took earlier.

Wonderful shots! Although I know about their compound eyes, it's still the first time seeing them on assassin bugs.

Cheers. I'm just starting out with a camera but I'm chuffed with some of my pics.
