I really, really don't know what category this would fit in. :lol:

I caught a lacewing last night. Pretty little bugger, but he's also small enough to be eaten. So I chuck him in the mantis tank. Nobody seems interested, oh well, they'll get him when they're hungry, right?

So I wake up the next morning and.. oh dang!! Someone molted! Holy ###### get the camera he looks awesome!! I took the picture and I'm all excited looking at it on the screen, but what are those little green things? I go back to the tank, and sure enough. Little green thingies hanging from the stick.

I look the green thingies. I look at the lacewing. I look at the green thingies. I look at the GREEN lacewing. Uh oh.

So yeah. I have this horrible feeling that I have eggs in my mantis tank. Can anyone confirm? Also, if anyone wants the stick for some odd reason it's yours, mantis not included. :lol: Oh yeah, don't ask me why the mantis decided to molt an inch off the ground when there's plenty of safer place he could've done it in. It happens I guess.

 
You should keep them, interesting insects, kinda like ant lions but are active

Oh yeah they're great alright, I just don't want them. Hopefully someone will want them more than me, otherwise, outside they go. Hah.

Edit: Posted an ad in the classified section for them. Yay.
