I LOOOOVE having mantids as pets! I like raising baby ones and kinda domesticating them in a way. They get very attatched to u. I had one when i was little... it never left me... even when it was outside it didnt fly away. but sadly ive never found a mantid like that again. No mantis last year apart from when i went on holdidays to naracoorte caves and one flew and hovered in front of my face for a minute then flew off. Wich was stunning XD it looked so pretty. Also great pic

The Mantis is so beautiful and cute looking. I just wanna touch it.... Heehee! I love Mantids as you can see. They're my favorite bug. They just look so, Alien like.

Wwwwow, that's terrifying, but amazing all at once. Crazy-awesome focus in this. How on earth did you get it to stay there for you?

Thanks!

Actually the mantis sat on that chair all day. Everytime I went outside it was still just sitting there, so it wasn't too difficult to shoot it

this insect has always scared me, i dont know why, maybe because they eat their male partner after having sex with it

anyway, nice picture but it's a bit blurry

avrilanda In reply to FifteenMinutes [2006-09-15 19:40:13 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, they are kind of creepy looking.

It's blurrier than I'd like, but at least in the small view it looks okay
