Si Senora! I don't think she sells the tequila though. <_< Edit: Ah yes, and in this case, the "grass" is the flies!

That's definitely a good mantis imagination there! :lol: Whatever does the trick! I like the mobius strip so the mantids won't think their enclosed after all.

I won't be able to get to the doors until this weekend. I'm trying to prevent having to saw the square dowels to make a door. There are many ways it can be done which is half of the fun! Plexiglass doors that you can see through better than screen, no door at all or whatever your desire. Use...

My next mantis? I can't buy any more mantids right now I have too many hehehe. If anything, more Orchids. Those are neato and I'm sending my only one out to be bred. Gongys, ghosties, more green limbatas, idolos, shields, chinese, Acromantis Magnas I'm trying to breed and two different types...

Hehe How many of your mantids can say they have been on two knee dragging motorcycle canyon runs? There is a short clip of canyons between here and grandma's that I take on the motorcycle. She rode in my backpack in a deli cup through the canyons on her way here and on her way home. She...

Crazy eyezballs :blink:

The bugs in here keep getting weirder! :1eye:

The world may never know! hehe I guess we came to the conclusion she was some sort of Limbata of the Stagmomantis kind! I'm not so hot on all the species names but she was a nice green one! :) :P I have like four more females of the same type is somebody can use them! Otherwise they will...

One of mine just molted to "dime size" last night. hehe Lets see if she makes it to a quarter!

Mmmm Hmmm, now back to that tequila. :lol: time to watch the grass grow.

lol I got mine going. I put a lil of everything up in there. Some taters a 4oz cup of applesauce, water tequila, (lol!) vinegar and honey! We'll see if it kicks off any hydei. It sure smells like flies would like it. Hahaha. I have a hunch these flies will explode in just about...

Hmm that first link seems to indicate I can just use vinegar. Guess I'll give it a shot! Yeast was the only thing the 99 cent store didn't have. I also have alcohol like it says hehe

Probably trippin' on the carbonation. Carbonation is a funny thing. lol :blink: :lol: Kinda gets you all bubbly.

Peter if you keep making me like new bugs I'm going to run out of lunch money. :( :lol:

Ok dude I'm going to try it out for myself soon with some Hydei. I think I might be missing powdered milk and yeast though. Are those important ingredients? I got this from the 99 cent store today while grabbing my onions and lettuce and crickets and rats. haha

Haha sent my baby home to the bush today cause we have no male for her and she is sub adult, soon to be a monster. Figured I'd rather give her a chance at finding her mate in the bush then die alone in a cage! Really really liked this mantis. She was very docile and friendly and favored using...

I will post some of my robots later. they almost look like bugs. I have actually seen somebody make a wire frame robot mantis already and I have photographic proof, if I can find it.

It would appear some of my adults/sub-adults are more fragile than the nymphs. IMO on something like a ghost mantis I would rather ship a nymph. I don't know anything about ooths.

Cool I have to try that soon.

Does anyone know where I can get the type of cloth that comes on those lids? I would like to purchase it by the square foot. It would make good liner for some of my home made cages. I've found good success with both types of lids for different reasons.
