[WA261]

He was on one of my speakers this morning...moved him a bit and took pics. I then let the little sucker outside.

I thought these 2 turned out cool.

Those are really cool pics, good job

 

[J0hnny]

I would have tried to find another bug somewhere and fed it to him. It's cool how they eat their prey.

 

[Ketteringo]

I'd hit it.








With a shoe.

 

[WA261]

[CraigRT]

[PanzerIV]

I am glad you didn't hurt it. They are really cool in my book.

 

[JonnyStarks]

That bug loves the camera! I think he's posing!

 

[Cuda1447]

What camera was it?

 

[MomAndSkoorbaby]

I hate those things...they seem to look right at you!

 

[dnuggett]

I had a pet Mantis when I was a kid, it ate everything from crickets to bees. Very cool insects. I also remember that if you were to yell at it, it's eyes changed color (my Mantis's eyes turned red) as if reacting to the vibrations.

good thing he wasn't 12" long...

 

[Tweak155]

Isn't there some sort of law, (technically) about killing Preying Mantis?

 

[WA261]

I think they are protected.

Sh!t if that was on my speaker I would kill it and just pay the fine. Those things are teh DEVIL in disguise.

There was one on my front door when I left this morning. I was like OMG cuz he was right by the lock, and I thought he was going to kill me.

 

[preslove]

Why would you kill one of those? The kill other insects, and they look cool.

 

[Viper GTS]

Very cool little creatures.

Some I took last year (straight from the camera, they were intended as sample pics from my S414 - Dialup beware.):
