[QUOTE="FeistyMcGrudle, post: 326404, member: 11169"] I just got 4 Ghost Mantises and one of the females is super timid. So timid to the point where if spooked she will press herself as low as she can on whatever she is perching on and hide her face. I've never seen an insect react that way--I know I'm probably just anthropomorphizing but it almost seems like she has a higher level of cognizance than the other mantids. The other ones will kind of glance over when they notice me, but she will hide behind a stick and move her head to the side and look around the stick at me. She eats only when there is no other movement anywhere, and has moved maybe +/- and inch since I've put her in her new enclosure on Saturday. [/QUOTE]
