I'm sorry to burst in and bring up that Oliver fool again, but I'm a pubescant thirteen year old girl-- and i act better than that on this forum!!! Maybe some people just has to "prove their false superiority" to make themselves feel good. Gosh that makes me mad! Yeesh! And I'm sorry about your...

Nawwww, poor OJ :) Wow, those certainly are large crickets. the ones I was looking at the local pet store were much, much smaller!

Bah, i would rather my mum had a b***h fit than the dreaded British Fit!!!! Can you get katydids in aus?I saw a piccy of a bright pink katydid! not sure if it was in this forum, but gosh it looked so pretty! Apparanly they turn pink if you feed them rose petals :D Wish that would work with...

Any idea what size cricket would be most appropriate for Dotty? (sub-sub adult female Orthodera, again, for the lazy people who can't be bothered to scroll up :lol: )

Sorta like their own mini hibernation? That's pretty Cool B) (Pardon the pun) I'm beginning to like a whole asortment of insets! Apart from spiders. I could never, ever like spiders..... :blink: I like Katydids though --Robyn

Wow, that was an interesting post, Joe :)Thanks! At least i know how to make Dotty pull a threat position for the camara wthout really annoying her, like poking her or something :lol:

Haha, thanks :)

Just curious if mantises pull any cute position when they sleep, or if they sleep standing up :)

Cheers guys! I'm checking the list out now. And yes, I live on the Goldie, if it's important. And yes, I'm buying a mantis from jamelongo as we speak/type (ugh...technology is taking over!). The cheque for Dotty should be there sometime tomorrow... So 'cited for my first mantis! Robyn :)

hahaha, okaydoki :) So...Would a medium size cricket be around the right size for Dotty do you think? I spose it doesn't matter...I think I'll stay and watch ehr eat them anyway :D

Hhaha, cool. What tyep of mantis are they?

Hahaha, ok. I was thinking pf the last time i saw a gecko eat a moth--whole :) iThe wings got all crunched up and were sucked into his mouth ;) Aaaah....Dinner time at Dotty's should be interesting :P

Hahaha, that might be a good idea :P but until, it looks like Dotty will have to wait for her meals to defrost :lol: But it's not that i can't touch them :n\blink: i can hold crickets, and fruit flies (lies and roaches though...uuuuuggggghhhhhh :( ) but the crickets will jump out and i...

Hi guys, I know, i know, you're all thinking I'm perfectly horrid to suggest feeding a bootiful butterfly to my soon-to-be greedy mantis, but why not? (even if i did manage to catch a butterfly, i probs won't have the heart to feed it to Dotty :P ) I think it would be an interesting...

Hahaha, I'll make sure they're still twicthing for Dotty :lol: Thanks guys! Dotty (and Robyn)

I'm getting a sub-sub adult orthodera (female, if thats any help :P ). Fridge it is then :D

hi guys, I'm getting my first mantis sometime this week (hopefully) and I've just been down at the pet shop looking at the crickets. I have two questions: One, crickets are awfully jumpy creatures, and getting the form A to B with butterfingers could be tricky for a blonde :D So...If i put...

Wow, that sent shivers up my spine :) I like it, It's so true, a perfect example of human nature. Remember evereyone, power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Oh really? right now i've only heard of giant ainforest mantid, orthodera and a garden mantis :lol: If any one knows of any interesting (not saying these aren't!) mantids, like orchid ones in aus, cou;d they leave a list please? Thanks guys :P Robyn
