That's a really nice pic of Franklin!

Haha. I found one of these last year and my kids wanted to keep it. We kept it until it turned into a moth. It was really cool to watch. Strange but cool looking creature!!

First time a saw this pose in person. I guess he didn't want to be bothered!!

Thanks... I used to take him outside but now I'm afraid he'll fly away!!!! :o ) Can't wait to see pics of yours after the molt!

Look at me...I'm all grown up!

Yes, she was a beautiful green up to her last molt...now brown. I hope the green returns!!

I agree with LAME - he is awesome!! Also, excellent picture. I wish I could get some nice clear close-ups of mine.

Thanks for the info! I think I will stick to the usual grasshoppers.

Great article....thanks!!

Does anyone know if bagworms are bad to feed a Chinese mantid? My one evergreen is infested with them and they are actually killing the tree. They look like a grub and live inside a cocoon made from the evergreen. They look like they would be plump and juicy to eat and it would be nice to put...

Thanks for both comments! I am feeding mine 90% wild caught grasshoppers. Other 10% - annoying house flies I want to get rid of ;o) ...and an occasional moth.

Nice collection of mantids!

It's funny that after this molt, his color changed from green to brown???

Wings are starting to show!!!!
