I don't know what the heck a brimstone is, but very sharp, clear image. Nice job.

EDIT: Found it online. Let's see, lime green, that would be a female then.

See, you all got it wrong. Phil runs a flea circus and these are all trained pets of his. You can tell this is a "Phil Pet" by the fact that he took out his micro-trimmers and shaved the hair around the eye just to make it jump out at you in the photo... Phil, you dirty dawg you....lol

Another damn fine work of art from the Philster!

Edit - I'm going to change your nickname to the Creepster! That peacock mantis set totally creeps me out! You da man, you creepy dude!!!

The eyes are just about perfect! Taking the shot out of context - I think it looks like some kind of new dustmop your would see on late night TV. HAHA!
