Aim for their chest with devour. Can't say it's ever failed me.
Also, those crosshairs are so sexy <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Actually, using a devour xhair you just have to get it over the marine's hitbox, like any other weapon. The problem comes from the fact that the onos is so tall compared to everyone else, and that the devour model is so confusing, with the horn twisted towards the side of the screen, that the area you need to aim at seems higher than it really is.
And these are excellent xhairs, I will definitely be using several of them. Good work!
I love these crosshairs but found them a little too big, so I resized most of them. If you prefer these in a smaller version, you can get them below. Specifically, I made the following changes:
Parasite was reduced by 50% because I found it too big for sniping distant marines. Spit and web was each reduced by 50% so that they're now small circles instead of rings (healspray was unchanged) Blink was reduced by 60% and some pixels were dimmed because the oringal took up too much of my screen. Acid rocket was reduced by 50%, so you now aim with the whole sprite.
hey really like these actually using the smaller ones as they work bit better for me but love them thanks <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Alright, since there's been some problems downloading bmdavll's edited version off of the NS Forums, Bashh was kind enough to host it on NSArmslab. I've added a link to the first post.
The file comes with proper documentation and a preview I threw together. The preview gives you a good idea what they look like.

I have to try these out, the size reduction pack makes them quite tempting. My biggest complaint is that I would like a more expressive center point for web, spit, and spore, as they all can be sniped through incredibly small holes if you aim properly and angle them right. Also the parasite sprite is just way too obnoxious for my preferance, I think I'll just keep the one I am using right now (small +)
fury, i don't want to link to a download that's missing a readme. I didn't notice the link till you pointed it out anyways, I would've said something earlier.

yeah i got the little pac first as i love snipeing, but i could hardly tell the spit from the heal with mi rez, so i got the large pac and thro i nthe big heal spray works perfect since i am usaly a permer gorgie
i did the same with xeno and a few otehrs i liked the bigger over the smaller and when mised to suit your needs there just awsome, but feel free its your own work i jsut gotta say imo leave heal spray
