    Praying Mantis Kid's book- pictures needed!

    What program are you using?  Depending on the program.  Example: Add a text box for the Scientific Name.  Type the name in.  Then select the text box and change the Backround color of the box.

    Praying Mantis Kid's book- pictures needed!

    The list looks good.  Do you mention Ooth prior to instar? Captive Care (Term instead of Basic)? For the Geography (Maps Section) it could be as simple as the map with pictures of the Mantids in the highlighted area they occupy.  (Color match the border of the Mantid picture to the color of...

    Praying Mantis Kid's book- pictures needed!

    From just seeing the little bit you have posted already, put my on the First Edition List (Author signed copy would be cool).  My son is 5 years old and would love this.  The age group might be lower than your anticipating.  Try not to get to far into the weeds.  Start a "Parking Lot" for items...

    Praying Mantis Kid's book- pictures needed!

    Do you have a defined criteria for "Kids Book"?  Scope creep may drag this project out and the final product may not be fit for purpose. I am not trying to discredit any reccomendations, but what does a "Kid" want/should/need to know about Mantids? This is called "Voice of the customer".  What...

    Maps.  My boy loves maps.  Might be easier to show where they are from than just a location name.  Maybe the map can be the background of the page?

    How many mantids can fit comfortably in a 20 gallon aquarium?

    Is it the long or the high version? My thoughts are to divide it (Mantid Condo).  Keep in mind the minimum space required for the species. 2x length wide x 2x length deep x 3 times length high. A 20 gallon long you can add 2 dividers and have a total of 3 enclosures 10 inches wide x 12 inches...

    Humidity Question for my Mantis

    My thoughts are that 2 days with a humidity drop will not be detrimental.  Mist before you leave today.  Mist when you get back. Think about nature.  Humidity swings naturally.  It wouldn't be uncommon for a humidity drop to occur naturally. I think the sponge idea is not the best idea. ...

    Custom Vivarium Opinions Wanted

    Can you give a little more info on the Acrylic.  I know you said you have files for the design.  What software did you use for the design? Did you send out the file to have the Material cut?  If so can you provide said Vendor information? I love this project and it has got the wheels in my head...

    Heat lamp wattage?

    What size enclosures?  I would say go higher rather than lower (Confusing?). With a lower watt bulb you are only going to get so much heat.  If that is not enough, your buying a higher watt bulb (pay twice). Plus side is you may have an extra to expand later. If you buy a higher watt bulb, and...
