I see your post.

I understand the loss first hand. I was once into salt water reef specimens. I had some beautiful setups. Very expensive specimens of jelly fish and other exotic specimens. I paid $600 for some coral reef fragments. Everything was perfect. However, the apartment I was living at the time sent in...

What a loss. I'm so sorry this happened to you. 😕

These are awesome!

Certainly. Use the Attach files option and select the pic you want to share. :) Crumpled wings can happen even if environmental conditions are spot on. Does she have plenty of molting space and adequate hanging areas?

I thought it would be a perfect place. Large property with 3 large ponds, a small river with lots of tall grass running along the banks, rotten logs and tons of moss and bamboo. 1 acre was mostly pine. This was all within 4 acres of property. I probably should have waited until more flowers were...

I was overly optimistic and took 10 32oz cups and other assorted containers and bags. All I forgot was mosquito spray. 😄

As long as I have permission or on public property I don't care if someone is watching me. 😂

We supposedly have lots of Gonatista here, but I've never found a single one. We have lots of lichen and oak trees and their camouflage is almost perfect.

I spent five hours with friends on a field trip looking for mantids, beetles, plants and moss specimens. A sunburn and 200 mosquitoes bites later, all I found were these lousy snails and their eggs everywhere... and possibly Dengue fever. 😕

I recommend Stagmomantis carolina. Chinese mantis are not great for the garden. I wish people would stop releasing Tenodera for pest control. They are a bigger threat to your pollinators than the smaller Stagmomantis species. Tenodera are great for pets... not for the garden.

Welcome from NE Florida. 👋

I'm going to catch as many as possible so hopefully I'll get at least one female. Then again, with my luck I may catch 20... all males. 😂 I'm hoping to also find some Chinese females... one of my favs.
