This wasn't a silly question, it was a very good one to be honest. You can never learn too much. :D

They're only found in "New Forest", wherever that is. :P Linkage: http://www.ukbap.org.uk/ukplans.aspx?ID=216

You do have a species(Cicadetta montana). :P Although, considering its extreme rarity and the fact it is endangered, I wouldn't feed them to your mantids. :lol: I should get some sleep, starting to be a know-it-all. <_<

I love cicadas, we have a species here that makes a very nice song. Males are probably not a very filling food, though. They're more or less hollow(pretty much living resonance chambers). :lol:

Probably, just avoid the 'anti-fungus' or 'anti-bacterial' kinds. Those are great for bathrooms, not so much for keeping animals.

I've looked into beetle before, but gave up when I learned that the species I wanted I would need a permit for. Anyway, here are a few links I've accumulated. http://www.naturalworlds.org/scarabaeidae/ http://www.naturalworlds.org/goliathus/ http://www.angelfire.com/ns/RhinocerosBeetles/...

I can get these for 4$ from a local Chinese food place. And they come with free soup! :P

I'll do that then. Thanks for all the help! :D

She climbed down and sat on the leaves for a bit, so I tried to feed her and she grabbed the fly instantly and ate it. Guess it was a false alarm. :rolleyes: I'm planning on feeding once every three days, is this alright? I'm not going to breed her(although if I find a male I'll let them...

And now she's walking around and looking at me when I look at her. Maybe she's not molting? :huh:

She moved over to the side of the lid and is now holding on to the glass with her middle pair. :)

Cyanoacrylate gel/liquid is safe once dry. At least it is for marine aquariums, which can house some of the most sensitive invertebrates on the planet, so I think it would be safe. The non-toxic stuff should be okay as well.

Just the two back legs. EDIT: It would be on the safe side not to disturb her for the next day or so, right?

Yeah, I think so too. :) How can I tell if she's about to molt(Oh yeah, I think it's a girl, she has six segments)? She's hanging from her hindlegs from the top of the cage, and the pictures of molting I've seen on here look like that. She also has a darker green line on her back where she...

Hello all. :) I'm 15, and from New York. I like long walks on the beach and staying out in the rain. I've been keeping different aquatic crustaceans, mainly shrimp, for a few months. I had a large colony of Neocaridina denticulata sinensis "red cherry", as well as Palaemonetes paludosus...

Yep, it's a Chinese. Two black marks on the inner side of each foreleg. That's good, I was planning on getting a Chinese anyway. :) The tank: (excuse the messy hermit tank on the other side) I love how I put in the fake ivy thinking s/he'd feel safer being able to hide in it, but...

Wow! Did she reach for it slowly or did you manage to catch the shot right at the moment she grabbed it?

So you think it would be okay to keep him/her(I really need to figure that out)? :lol: Yay! So, damp paper towel at the bottom of the enclosure is necessary, correct? Any tips for a new mantis keeper? EDIT: I just remembered that my uncle used to breed them when they were sparse around...

Well, my sister just ran screaming out of her room a few minutes ago. A mantis nymph had climbed in through the window and was perched on the ceiling above her bed. I went in and just picked it up. It is green, a little over two inches in length and slender; your stereotypical mantis. I don't...

Shhhh... You'll blow my cover... <_<
