It looks like some sort of alien.

Since I got my new macro lens my mantis have been rather photo shy.
This eve #1 was saying hello.

Excellent pic!
I wish I could get mine to sit still long enough.

Beautiful specimen.

Well I can now officially be a member of the mantis club. I got this guy about 4 5 days ago and he is such a hoot to watch, very intelligent. So far he will eat krill and shrimp, and the occational Nass. snail that I have been tossing in from my DT because they breed like crazy anyway. He is in a 3 gallon tank and seems quite content, he is a green so he is pretty much full grown.

Not yet, he seems to be doing awesome and very active. He is so fun to watch, def. the most interesting animal that I have ever owned by far. So far he eats any meaty foods I give him, and the occasional snail treat. If I ever have any issues you will be the first I would ask.

I'll swear to uphold whatever-it-was that John just swore to uphold.

I have a lovely fellow living in my refuge. I was eyeball to eyeball with him this morning. I'll try to get a picture of him this afternoon. He was snapping for me! I could see him doing it!

WAY cool!

I have to get him something to eat! What is a luxuriant snack I could offer?

Is there something OFFICIAL I have to do to join??
