very nice pictures :D. Did you offer him some coffee? Maybe a cricket..

Holy crap! What kind of camera are you using? Those are stunning pics. :O:O:O

Oh wow! I've had one of those hitch a ride in my hair before when I was moving around in the forest outside my house. It was a good passenger. XD

Thanks, actually I could do better if I was investing in a good camera but the one I use to take pictures of my snakes does the job and is always handy so I keep using it, it's an Olympus FE5010 http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_se...sp?fl=&id=1441 (Less than $100 ;) )

Well that's definitely not what I was expecting to hear LOL. I'm flabbergasted m'dear. Who needs those stinking DSLRs anyway, right?!

Aweeeee :) I love mantids so much :love:

I haven't seen one of these since I was about 7 years old. Such a shame they are never around here anymore :( Beautiful photos.

I love mantis we used to have them all the time where I grew up but I think seattle area is just not warm enuff for them havent seen one in a few years
Georgous pics BTW thanks for sharing them :P

Gorgeous photos, gorgeous mantid :) thanks for sharing!

Haven't seen one of thoughs in a long time. Nice photos.

Was thinking bout breeding mantids, there are some really neat different looking ones.

Awwww!! I love those guys!! They are one of the few insects that have personality. Its very cool how they even recognize certain people after a short time and will only go to people they know. I see them where I work a lot :D

I totally would have given that one a cricket. Looks like a female.

Really cool!

I still see them around here and there. Now that I think of it, I had a visitor a couple of weeks ago, when I was cooking in the backyard on the grill.
