Harold Ray 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2007 How about a larger picture and a side view, too, Andre's. That rascal looks spectacular; I'd just like to see larger images and more of them so I can appreciate him more! Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen some incredible macro photography of these mantis, and they are one of the most amazing bugs alive. Here's a link to some macro pix... http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=516535 I would also very much like to see and admire a larger photo of your fly.

Andrés T 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2007 Hello, you are right about the size. I worked on the original one (2272 x 1704 - 1.13MB) to reduce it and so send it easilly. I usually send an E-mail to myself to reduce size, but this time ( I don´t know why) they reduced it to the minimun. As you can see, I have no idea how to work on pictures :dunno: Well I´ll try to send the original one this time. It looks as if it has worked, let´s see....

Andrés T 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 Hello, Donrf, IlikeFish, Harold Ray, thank you very much! This mantis is a Gongylus gongyloides (Linneus,1758). It comes from India. There it lives in sunny places into the woods, savannahs and meadows. Andrés Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
