[QUOTE="dmina, post: 275935, member: 7953"] I think mantis, like all other creatures... You have ones that are extraordinary, that show traits ... that we tend to associate with our own traits.. emotions, fear, pain.. We also make decisions on thing that settle easy on our conscience, and sometime we take things... that just seem like we [I]hope[/I], it really is.. I don't think we will ever really know how insects think, feel, learn.. same with all the other creatures beyond human.. We can't even understand humans... so how can we think .. we know the answers for insects.. the main thing... I think is...that we enjoy the hobby..and give these guys the best life possible... try and make it as natural as we think it is, for them...and when they pass... know we did the best we could.. It is us ... who have chosen to remove them from their real life.. and keep them in containers for our amusement. I just think... she seems... to not mind those babies at this time... tomorrow it may be another story. I will get down off my soap box now... and hope I didn't over step. [/QUOTE]
