I've fed an mantid a wasp before, without mutilation. It was pretty "scary", cuz the wasp's abdomen was pulsating in the air, trying to sting my mantis. I guess some mantids mouths aren't as strong as others. If mine can't bite through something, they attempt different angles until they can get...

Congrats on the recovery! Am I the only one who noticed this? :P

Welcome to the forum! N1. xD Not of Hispanic decent, but took Spanish for 2 years in highschool.

Like Hibiscusmile, I also remove the stingers and usually feed them with forceps. If your mantis is willing and you don't want to take risks, you can kill the bee first before feeding with foreceps. Is ccd still an issue?

Hey guys, it seems that the bill was slowed. The huge amount of letters and phone calls helped a alot. (40 thousand?) It's a temporary win, so keep up the good work.

Heh, Sacramento sure is cold. It's been cold, then hot here for a while. :( Summer is drawing near when we might get a power failure and INSIDE the house is 95+ degrees. -.-

>: D Awaken the boy in you.

My hair stands up on end normally. :lol: Yep, it's pupae all right. When you have white substrate, and white paper towel, the pupae seem to be red or orange.

Nope... :P Nah, most of us were just sleeping... A while ago, my C. modesta hated bannana. Once they touched it, they started running away.

Very nice. :) Too bad I can't have any. :(
