She arrives tomorrow!

I just ordered a female G. graphurus from stomatopod.com, and I am psyched! Pricey? Yes. Shipping expensive? Yes. Rarer species? Yes. But then again, why not get the mantis you want
Now, time to think of a sweet, sexy, but dangerous-sounding name for her!

Someone on another forums suggested "Iris". I countered with "Bambi". LOL

No good pics yet (the company Rebel is too complicated for me), I'll bring in my point -n- shoot Fuji tomorrow Within 5 minutes after being acclimated and added to the tank, she found a nice little cave, snagged a hermet and *CRUSHED* it! She's now doing major excavations in the rock (as illustrated by the periodic clouds of LR dust being thrown into the water column!), and is venturing to another entrance to scope me out. She seems absolutely fearless!

Thanks for the pictures, they are great! I can't believe I did not put two and two together and realize that Bella is the one you posted in the picture of the month contest.
