Cheers, i do like my macro and super macro shots, the flower mantis are the hardest to get a good picture off, as they are very small and unlike many mantis wont stay still long enough for me to get a good one, it often blurs out.

Re: Some of the inverts

I was going to ask what your favorite was. That answers that question. I currently only have an emperor and a whip.

Lol yea would probably be the desert hairys for pure attitude and looks, emperors for size and the fact you can handle them easier.

That is why i prefer the scorpions to the tarantulas, you don't get the hair flicking from the scorpions, so don't end up itching for days when a red knee or goliath tarantula flick their hairs at you.
And thank you
