I suppose it's rude to photograph them while they're eating, which is why I got this rather cold stare.

This is just a baby, but she's already extemely vicious.

Some great galleries, and shots. Thanks everyone, I've added links in my different macro, animal, and mixed section topics.

This was on a road in Ginja, Uganda.

Glad we got you posting shots, Jim.
I've added links to everyone, and still looking for more Mantids and Stick Galleries to link too. So here's another shot to keep the thread going. Thanks everyone, there's some really great shots out there. Love to see more.

Thanks Chip, I've added several links to your site. I've always enjoyed Nashville! Nice Mantis shot too.
Anyone else with Mantis, or Sticks?

Dang, I like your picture, but I think it would benefit from being inverted. I've done that with a few of mine, because mantids often like to hang around upside-down, but their pictures look better the right way up.

I think so too, but It's already posted and I'm too dang lazy to turn it over! Well, to be honest.. I did turn some of them over in my gallery.
Thanks!
