Ok, I thought I'd try and get some good shots of my Mantis, but it was a failed attempt. He refused to stick his head out of the lair any more than what is shown below... While I was at is though I did take a few decent shots of his tankmate.

One eye on me the other on his escape route back into the tunnel...

His bold, yet mentally challenged tankmate, Herman the Hermit:

Hermits are awesome...gotta love those eyes...that mantis shot is cool too!

Here's my hermit with his pretty blue eyes and he's even got eyelashes! Maybe he's a she!

Thanks, I like their eyes as well. Nice Hermit NanoKat!

I noticed the above photos had too much of a yellow cast to them. Fixed the White Balance on one of them.
