Just a few I took whilst I was at our shop yesterday. I know the first one is a flower mantid, but do not know what type the others are, sorry.


If Rob Byatt sees this thread, I would say that he may well be able to identify the various species for you. Might even be worth PMing him to draw him out of the woodwork. Wink

Stunning pictures, stunning creatures.
I remember as a lad being fascinated by the Preying Mantis, then a couple of years ago while camping in France, one landed on our clothes line while my missus was hanging up some clothes. I was totally awestruck.
The flower and Orchid Mantids are superb.
