Yeah, some of the ones that prefer flying prey, like Orchids strike faster than is visible to the naked eye.

Well I'm not trying to be a dik, and I'm sorry if that seemed a bit harsh, but you have got to understand that this is not a community that welcomes that sort of behavior. I'm not a Mod on this board, but I am on another, and my experience is that unless a chat forum is specifically aimed toward...

As Scott pointed out recently a new foolproof way of sexing them is to look for the unicorn on the females. This does not show up on the males and it shows up earlier than adult stage as my girls are still presub and all have them. Once you determine the sex an alternative to heat is simply to...

:angry: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS SACRED PLEASE STOP STAINING THIS BOARD WITH YOUR OBNOXIOUS IMMATURITY!!!

You are so silly Becky :lol:

My three year old daughter loves them, always wants to see them and help me catch bugs to feed them, but when it comes down to having one of them on her hand she is still very timid and wants to jerk her hand away scream and run away, which only tells me that above all she is still as 3 year old...

Excellent shot Scott!

American Gongys FTW!!! So how many baby gongy's did you end up with? PM Sent.

Being a mod is a selfless, thankless job. If they do anything at all we should be gratefull. Its not like we get paid. As far as the board ettiquette goes, it seems there is only one main offender as of late. Unfortunately our only option is to instruct those who do not yet know how to act on...

Or just stop clicking the black "reply" button at the bottom of the post you are responding to and press the green/yellow "add reply" button at the bottom and top of the thread. Quoting people should only be done when you are responding to something specific that someone else said. Otherwise it...

NO... If you put any together and they come in contact with one another one of them will surely die. I know I preach alot about genetic "programming" but I kinda look at mantids and other invertibrates as robots that follow very specific protocol within their operating systems. They do...

Damn that is a great shot Scott!!

You are too sweet Rebecca. En lugar de dar alas, da le avion :P

It is perfectly normal mainly due to their feeding habits. Many mantids are known to take on prey with as much if not more mass than themselves. In an upright stance this would put alot of strain on the mantis to keep its prey elevated enough to keep the struggling insect from gaining a foothold...

If an ant actually manages to bite your nymph in self defense it will get sick and most likely die. Also since mantids tend to sonsume all of their prey, that includes the venom that the ant uses in its bite, which can also make your nymph sick. I would steer clear of feeding any bug that uses...

Why dont you get that big ol lens out and show us what mite infested looks like. I've never even seen them to know what to look for.
