[QUOTE="izbiggs, post: 306547, member: 9691"] How did you all get into mantids? I'm curious how everybody found these amazing pets and got addicted to them! ;) For me, I was fooling around on the internet when I discovered that you could actually order bugs online. I had always been a bug person, having caught and kept black widows and other spiders, and was naturally intrigued. I narrowed my list down to mantids and actually spent about a month researching and combing the internet for the best place to buy a mantis! I decided to get two to start, an African and a ghost. When my mantids arrived, my African was molting and I had a near disaster, which is what prompted me to join the forum in a panic searching for a way to save my mantis. Thus I discovered the rewarding world of mantis keeping! (Don't worry, the mantis was saved :) ). Comment your own story! [/QUOTE]
