    You should. They are super easy to keep. If you get a hardy species like N. Wennerae they can survive pretty much anything.

    I'll try. He moves way to much to easily focus my macro lenses on him.

    Here is one. I tried to edit it because the white balance was way off on my camera. I just took a whole bunch more, with manual white balance, but I haven't pulled them off my camera yet.

    Nice shot! I know exactly what you mean about trying to capture a good shot. Speedy little buggers....

    I really like that last pic! Currently Princess is digging a hole to China (watch out, Steve!) and finds it nearly impossible to sit still long enough to snap a pic...even with arms full of sand. Gotta love the mantis'

    Mine has been swimming around like a maniac and widening the tunnels in his den... hopefully in anticipation of him growing larger.
