Hi,

I've been fascinated with mantids my whole life; honestly starting from Kung Fu theater where i first learned what a praying mantis was. I never really thought about owning one until I found a website for them. I guess I thought that keeping two harlequin shrimp, a cowfish, and an octopus as pets wasn't exotic enough. LOL. I generally hate insects, especially spiders; mantids are just different. They are cool little aliens, not bugs.

I have an orchid, 2 lineola's (i considers these the classic kung fu mantis), and a budwing.

I would like to get a "creobrater" and a devil's flower mantis eventually.

The picture shows my typical set-up. I am mostly interested in finding out about feeding techniques from this site.
