we got a deal going on..he poses for me..i give him treats.. i have a tub of adult crickets in the post..im going to tell him no insects till u do a hand stand for me j/k

How in the world did you set up to get that shot? When I try this, my working distance is in CMs; so close the mantis is backing away.

i only lightley sprayed it once..its just like when it rains out side. and where it lives in a tank its got heat mat and its warm..he will be fine..spraying it every day mayby but that was only once off. thanks for your concern,,

Excellent shots M-J.

As far as feeding goes, that's nature. I won't help anything that's caught, but neither will I help in the capture.

As far as viewing pictures, then it's down to personal preference. As long as they are appropriately titled, then I see no problems.

Shame on you for spraying him LOL!! It is a wonder he then stood still for these teriffic shots. These are really excelent shots !!!

damn amazing shots junkie, number 4 and 6 are sick. great honeycomb detail in the eyes! oh and the eating shots are great. not everyday we see a mantis munching something down for dinner.
