Mantid update...

Well, some bad news with the cryptic, my heater in my house stopped working one night and it got pretty chilly in there. I woke up to a dead mantis. I was however lucky enough to get a few orchid mantis which are amazing so I am changing the photos to them. The first group were taken before their first molt. They are white when they are full grown, so it will be cool to watch the process of them changing. In one photo it is eating a fruitfly, look for the red eyes of the fly, it will give you an idea of their size. Enjoy!
