The Scorpion and the Frog A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too." The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but...

Thanks all :)

So.... adult chinese mantis have wings - do they fly? One of my nymphs has molted out with full length wings and I don't want to take it out now if it's going to fly to the ceiling. Also, is it now adult, or will there be other molts? Thanks!!

Wow, I wish we had such cute grasshoppers here!!

Depends... will it rust when you wet it? I don't know if rust is bad for them or not, but it's kind of ugly. Maybe you could use the (tiniest) plastic zap-straps to attach the flowers to a twig? They won't rust, come in different colours and I've seen some Really tiny ones (check the dollar...

Beautiful setup! I'm afraid I can't help with any husbandry tips tho.

Ewwwwww.... Up in Yellowknife every summer we would go swimming in the lake and would occasionally encounter one of these super long horsehair worms.... I knew they didn't bite but I had not idea where they came from! Usually we would just keep them in a bucket and gross out our parents 'till it...

Thanks Phil :)

Thanks guys!! I have aad them all in separate tall smoothie-cups since L2 or so. It's looking a little small for the biggest ones. Next question: What should I charge for L5 or so nymphs? I'm guessing it's not a whole lot but they are well-established and healthy and I've had a couple people...

Hi all, just looking for some personal experiences (I;m getting confused by all the caresheets) How big of cages do you keep your adult chinese mantis in? Aquariums or is there something large enough that you can get creative with at the dollar store? How often do you feed them? Multiple prey...

Diagonal, just to be different. :lol: No really, plastic on the bottom, wherever that may be.... since when you get busted for FFs? Are they FFs dipped in acid?

I love the detail on this one... it's as if I can touch it's nubby little eyes thru the screen, great pic yeatzee!

I like her big badonkadonk ;)

ahahahaha

I was using purina OM for the most part (obesity management) I was using it for my 24lb cat but I found it just gave him horrendously stinky poo lol - I wouldn't recommend it for long term use (it just can't have the same stuff as bugs lol) but it was either that or starve and it served the...

Great pics, thank you

Another molt and this time cripplemantis is Perfect!! *pleased*

Thanks guys :) I find the tiny crickets too hard to handle with tongs/forceps so I will try a little tube. This is the biggest mantis so far, some are nearly this big but one or two are nearly half this size still (I have about 25 in seperate cages)I can't bring myself to do roaches, I think...
